You have to file federal first, NJ (non-resident) second and NC (resident) last.

Don't worry about NC W-2 being blank. You will be taxed by NC for all the money you earned in any of the 50 states.

In turbotax (TT), complete filing the federal section first. TT automatically transfers over the calculations to NJ and NC states. TT will prepare NJ second for the amount of money you have earned in NJ. At last, when TT brings you to NC, you'll be asked to "remove" the wages that are duplicate. These wages are the ones who have earned outside of NC.

If you follow the above, you'll be all set.

When you guys put in your w2 in turbo tax, combine all of the "empty ones" into your federal. The state section has around 4 lines to put your different states. That's what I did so I ended up with 1 w2 that had 3 states

You didn't have any income earned in NC to report there.

My W-2 is pretty blank for my third state as well...I should just use the same info from my federal right?

That's not true

You have to file one in the state you worked in as a non resident. Use the info of the W2 for that state when filling that states income tax return. I'm assuming that you live in a state with no state income tax, so you don't have to file one in your home state, only the federal one.

No, I worked in NJ the entire year and I traveled back to NC every weekend.

Well, there's box 16 and 17 with numbers on there. With everything else blank on my NC one. While NJ one is filled out.

Right, you'll file a nonresident return in NJ for all income

Ya so at least turbo tax says I can't e-file my tax return bc I have one W-2 being blank on box 1.

Then a resident return in NC that shows all income was earned

Then don't enter that one

What boxes are filled in on w2 #2?

Your NC will be your federal, state, local. Your NJ will be an additional state

Thank you for all the help! I will look more into it.

TurboTax gave me that error too and then I changed the order that I went through my states (I think basically what m1) said and the error went away.

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?

What is everyone’s take on the NYC housing market? More people and businesses are moving out. I’d imagine it has to continue to dip. Also, they’re considering turning adding more units by converting commercial space into residential space. Inventory is going to be through the roof for rentals. I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.

It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
