tax1111 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Taxpayer is in military and needs to file CT resident return (home of record) and NJ resident return (state of legal residence). I have never done this before. How can I generate two resident returns at the same time? Does credit of tax paid to CT offset NJ tax? Drake software seems not be able to handle this scenario. Thanks.

Bobby1 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 NJ gives a credit to a resident for tax paid on income that is also taxed in another state, so I would say yes, but for example, there is no credit for tax paid to another state on unemployment because NJ does not tax unemployment. Good luck! I don't envy you for preparing those multiple state tax returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possi Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 With the military, you file the Home of Record as resident only. If the military member ALSO had non-military income from another state, the state where he/she actually resides, then you would file as a NON-resident for the other state, the one that is NOT his/her HOR. It doesn't matter if they own a home in the state where they are living/serving. The HOR supersedes as far as the resident return goes. Maybe I am not understanding the situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
