Entering a taxpayer that lives in one state but does work in multiple states

You should select full time resident. Enter each w-2 for the state issued and it will be applied to that state return. If a multi state w-2 maybe this will help https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/form-w-2/entering-w-2-wages-withholdings-multi-state-tax/L4nmxeYxo_US_en_US?uid=mld27ujc

He pays MD tax on all his income. He may get a credit for tax paid to the nonresident states.

Hi Kurt, ProConnect works slightly different then our other programs for mulit-state allocation.  To get it to do it correctly, you will do the following:

   1) Check the full-year resident box for MD on the client information screen.

   2) Check the multi-state return box on the client information screen (right under the full-year resident).

   3) On the W-2 screen, all allocations are completed inside the Box 1 box.  Do not use box 16.      

        So, for example, if the person worked a total of $100,000 wages, $50,000 MD, $20,000 VA,       $20,000 NY, and $10,000 PA.  You would enter it in box 1 as follows: $100,000 coded "US", $50,000 coded "MD" and sourced to "S", $20,000 coded "VA" sourced to "S", $20,000 coded "NY" sourced to "S", and $10,000 coded to "PA" sourced to "S".  When you do this looking at box 1 on the W2 screen it will show double the amount of the wages, however, don't be alarmed as reviewing the forms you will see that is just totaling the inputs and not actually doubling the wages on the return.  The state taxes paid will be entered in box 17 and set to the respective state they were paid in.  Also, depending on the states complete any state specific sections that are on the W2 main tab or State & Local tab, if applicable.

Any reciprocal states that are double-taxed ProConnect will automatically create credit for taxes paid.  Any others that you need to give credit for you can do so under Other --> State & Local --> Other State Tax Credit.
