Answer 1

Residents pay tax on all income (from all sources) they recieving during the calender year. However, they get tax credit of all the taxes they pay in other states.

• Part-year residents not only pay tax on income earned from work performed in the state, but also pay tax on all other income received while residing in the state.
• Nonresidents generally only pay tax on income they earned from work performed in the state, and on income received from other sources within the state.

Regardless of the fact about the nature of your residency the apportionment schedule needs to be completed.

After you use the apportionment schedule to allocate the appropriate amount of your income and deductions to the new state, you need to calculate what percentage of your total income is state income. We'll call this the "apportionment percentage," and it is used in the rest of the calculations.

For example, if your total income was $50,000 and you earned $30,000 in a second state where you moved during the year, your apportionment percentage is 30,000 divided by 50,000, or 60 percent.

You generally use the apportionment percentage in one of two common methods to calculate your state income tax.

Therefore you should consult with the licensed and experienced accountant about how to pay the taxes.
