I lived in 2 states last year. Do I have to file state taxes in both states?

If the states you lived in deducted state taxes from your check, Yes.  When you file this year your tax preparer should know what to do.  I had to file for MI but the state I live in now doesn't have a state tax.  so next year I only have to file the feds.  The tax person has to get the forms for whatever state. You file 1 tax for those 2 states and your current state.  Just take your w 2"s.  Make sure you don't have to do City also.  MI (Detroit) has a city tax.

Go to the tax place that you did them at. If you did them go to the irs. If you didn't do them, you need all w2 forms and you or any place can do them. If this didn't answer your question and tax place will be happy to.

Yes.  As a NY resident, you're required to file a NY state tax return, and as someone working in Vermont, \n\n"You are required to file a Vermont income tax return if:\n• You are required to file a Federal income tax return; and\n• You earned or received $100 or more in Vermont income, or\n• You earned gross income of $1,000 or more."

The free return is only for the Federal Income Tax Return.  If you want to file your state return electronically, you'll have to pay extra for it.

Find out which state collect less taxes first and then move to that state or file 50/50?

Usually there's four.  Each of them should specifically say where to file each one.  One will say "file with Federal return", another will say "file with recipient's records" (this would be the one that you keep).  The remaining two will say something along the lines of "file with state, city, or local return".  Only one is required for the state return.  The purpose of having two with the same criteria would be for if you filed a city return or if you filed in two different states (for example if the organization is in one state and you live in another).  In the case that you end up with one not going anywhere, don't worry, that's just one more you can keep with your records.

Try this website http://www.24hourtaxservices.com/prior_year.html\n\nYou will probably have penalties for filing late. You will also need to file state returns for any years you didn't file before. \n\nBest yet, you should check with a tax professional.  An CPA will be able to help you the most.  If you can afford to spend a little more meet with someone in person.

yes. there's a federal statute that allows them to only go 3 years back. i do taxes for a living for the state and i've seen many people amend them further back, and have refunds, but they don't get the money. if i were you i would check with a lawyer to see what can be done.

Typically you don't. If you live in one state and work in another you have to but certain states don't require it. \nFor example, if Joe lives in ND and works in MN he does not have to pay MN taxes. \nHe only has to sign a form from the state he works in.  I hope this answers your question. Ask you human resource department about it. Each state is different.

You pay tax in the state that you realized the gain.  So the answer is yes, you can avoid CA tax.  Yes, you can keep your house.  Your state of resedency doesn't depend on non-primary living places.

It would help to know which state you need to file taxes for.

you can file your state taxes first and then you can file your federal taxes.  i typically wait to file my federal return because i typically owe some money, so im in no hurry to give uncle silly my cash.

For Federal income taxes, the state you are in doesn't matter.  For state tax purposes, it depends on the state.  In any case, you only pay capital gains tax if you sell something at a gain.

Form 16 will be issued after financial year end. You can work in two companies.  In this case you will get 2 Form-16 and you can submit those two forms at the time of filing returns. \n\nAt the time of filing your returns, if the two companies put together have collected more tax than what you have to actually pay, then you can claim for refund.  If you have to pay tax, then pay the tax at the time of filing.

Do it both ways...jointly and married filing separately and see where you come out better.  You can file either way.  But you actually FILE one way or the other, whichever is best for you. It's worth the time to do the math twice.
