TTax Deluxe - filing for two different states

Mar 20, 2009 3 Replies

If I have income from two states and I want to do one using TTax Deluxe and I want to do the other manually, will TTax Deluxe let me do that?



Will TTD let me do the one state tax without downloading the software for the other if I have checked that I have income from more than one state?



Daughter moved last year so she has about 11 months of earnings from the state I live in, and for which I downloaded the tax software, and about one month of earnings from another state.



She has already filed her federal tax using TTax online. She started her state taxes using TTax online but she said it got pretty confusing pretty quickly so she stopped.



I have TTax Deluxe. I would like to use it to do my daughter's tax for my state.



Can I do just one state for her using TTD?



Do I have to do her federal tax over again in TTD before I go to state tax or can I go right to the state tax?



Would you just pay for the additional state software and use that too?



How would you approach this situation?



Thanks!

One year (2000) I had to do 4 state tax returns. My home state (TN) is so simple that it's a waste of money to use TTAX for that (in addition, they offer the ability to fill out the return and file online). So, that year, I used TTAX for NC (the most complicated of my state returns that year), NJ & KS (bought a 2 add'l copies of TTAX state).

TTAX had no problems with what I did.

Just me wrote in news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:

As Dan Brown indicated,I I'd just get another state downloaded. It's up to you and D who pays for it.

The "trick" is that she was 11 month residing in state 1 and 1 month in state 2 (likely, but not 100 % clear from your post). Therefore she would have to file part-year residence in each state, and that's indeed a bit of a pain.

Daughter was able to get TTax online working afterall so the problem is resolved. Thanks for the responses.
