A Client received two separate W-2s from the same company. Each W-2 had difference federal amounts in Box 1 and States in Box 2. The two states were California and Massachusetts.

I believe I entered everything in correctly, however when I corrected the return from a Partial-Year Resident of both California and Massachusetts, to a Non-Resident of California and Full time Resident of Massachusetts, the California tax stayed the same but Massachusetts increased by quite a bit.

I would think that the overall tax liability of the client wouldn't change depending on resident status, just the amounts allocated to each state.

Can you tell me the correct way to enter Non-Resident CA data, including the ST.PY/NR Tab because I feel like I'm missing something.

Thank you
