How to allocate non New Mexico salary when taxpayer is considered a resident for New mexico purposes

[eeyore]

Never had to do a New Mexico return, mostly Virginia returns, so could use some help!

The taxpayer lived in NM for 270 days, so he is considered a NM resident per the instructions, but his W-2 reflects NM wages and VA wages.  I can't seem to get the program to pull out the VA wages, or get the program to reflect an out-of-state-tax  credit, which I believe is the way NM handles things.

Can someone familiar with NM tax filings help me?

Thanks!

so is he considered a part year/part year resident of each VA and NM?

you wouldnt get an out of state credit if youre part year in each state.

From what I read in the NM instructions, he is considered a resident because he was in NM for more than 185 days, so he has to file the regular NM return.  As far as VA is concerned, he is a part-year resident.  The VA return is computing properly, but I'm guessing that I have to manually calculate the OSTC for New Mexico.

Did he move to NM? Or did he just work there for a while and return to his VA domicile?

He lived in NM most of 2019, from 01/01/19 to 10/24/19. Then he moved to VA on 10/25/19, and still lives in VA.

Then he's a part year resident of each state.

You're overcomplicating this.

The instructions mean that he is a part year resident for part of the year; he is not a non resident.

PY NM, PY VA.
