Answer 1

Are you talking federal or state return(s)? Federal return taxes all your income. For California and other state (which is? Oregon?) you would file a part-year resident return, and report the income that you made while living in that state. Say you lived in CA for half the year and Oregon the other half, and made $40,000 in CA and $30,000 in Oregon. For federal you'd be taxed on $70,000. For CA you'd only be taxed on the $40,000 and for Oregon, only on the $30,000.

Answer 2

I lived in only one state and received income from different states, how do I report my state income?

Answer 3

in actuality the state the place you're a resident provide you with a credit for taxes paid to different states. you will nevertheless report the two states returns. One resident return and one non-resident. however the finished tax would be based upon the blended expenditures.

Answer 4

On your federal return just sum everything together and send both copies of everything to the IRS. For the state returns prorate the amount for each state (if you were in CA for 7 months multiply everything by 7/12 to figure your tax there and 5/12 for the other state).

Answer 5

PepsiLime is totally correct.

bull_rooster_aardvark started out well and then blew it. You do NOT apportion the income between the states based upon time; you claim the exact income per state just as PepsiLime stated.
