Question

How do I modify the amount of income that is subject to state income tax? Military until Aug and a resident of Texas

Looks like my original question was not completely posted...

I retired from the military on 1 Aug and was a Texas resident until then - I didn't pay any state income tax and there is no way to select "TX" on my military W2. On 1 Aug, I started my retirement pay and started having SC taxes withheld. TT is calculating SC taxes based on ALL my income, not just my retirement income. How can I tell TT that only the retirement pay is taxed by SC, not the military pay?

Your question is confusing since TX has no state income tax. So what was you SLR while you were in the military and where were you stationed?

Looks like my original post was truncated or I didn't complete it....perhaps its not confusing now.

Thanks!

Simple fix ... you need to file a part year SC return so you can indicate which income is taxable to SC. In the MY INFO tab make sure to indicate you are still a TX resident but also earned income in SC for this tax year that includes the move.
