You need to indicate that you are a part year resident for each state so that the income is allocated properly. Please see the screen shot below.
If
you were a resident of 2 different states during the tax year (for example, if
you moved from one state to another), you'll normally file part-year returns in
both states, assuming each state collects income tax and you had income in each
state.
TurboTax
handles part-year returns, but you need to make sure you've set up your
personal information correctly to trigger the part-year state interviews:
- With your return open, select
Personal
Info.
- Click Edit next to your name.
- Select your resident state
from the State of Residence drop-down.
- Answer Yes at the line below (that you
lived in another state during 2018).
- Select your former state from
the Previous state of residence drop-down.
- Enter the date you became a
resident of your new state. This can be the date you arrived in that
state.
- Select Continue to return to
the Your Personal Info Summary screen.
- Repeat Steps 3-5 for your
spouse, if needed.
After
you finish your federal return, you'll automatically move to State Taxes, where you'll see your part-year
states listed. We suggest you prepare the return for the state you currently
live in, followed by your former state.
Important: If you also see a nonresident state
return on the State Taxes tab, complete
that return before you work on your part-year return(s) to ensure your tax
credits are calculated correctly.
