I’m filing as a part-year resident for Maryland and Virginia. I lived in VA longer than I did in MD.

I moved during 2025, but I was late updating my state withholding with my employer, so the state wage amounts on my W-2 don’t match what I believe should actually be allocated to each state based on when I lived in MD vs. VA.

I calculated the split myself using my pay/tax documents and the formula that the company said that they use for calculated taxable wages.

Will that mismatch from my W-2 and reported amounts alone cause a problem if I file for part-year residency and use that allocation, or is that normal as long as I can support the numbers?

I've made sure that the MD + VA allocations add up to the amount in box 1, though.

FreeTaxUSA is giving me this error before filing:

"The amount of Virginia wages shown on your Form W-2(s) is $X but you entered $(X + 10k) of wages on your Virginia return.

Sometimes your part-year or nonresident wages can be different from what is shown on your Form W-2, such as if your wages were from military service or if the state you lived in has a reciprocal agreement with Virginia.

You can go back to the Virginia Income screen to change the amount you entered. If the amount is correct, click Continue."

My brother and I inherited a house that was worth $475k after repairs. It was owned by the trust.

We sold it after getting some repairs done on it, and only $200k was added to our trusts.

I could've lived in that house, let it appreciate in value, and never paid rent or took out a mortgage payment for the rest of my life.

The cost of living, rent, and real estate just keeps going up.

I fucking hate myself.

I received two 1099-Rs for the same pension plan. One appears to cover the part of the year when I was in Maryland, and the other covers the part of the year when I was in Virginia after I moved.

The forms are basically identical except for the amounts in box 1 and account numbers. On FreeTaxUSA, the only way I can get the full amount to show up correctly seems to be entering both forms separately. Otherwise it looks like only one 1099-R box-1 amount is being counted.

Since this is the same pension, is it still correct to enter both 1099-Rs exactly as issued? Or is this something where I should ask the payer for a corrected single 1099-R instead?

I moved from Maryland to Virginia in 2025 and I’m filing part-year resident returns for both states.

I had 1 W-2 and 2 separate 1099-Rs that covered periods when I lived in both states. I tried to allocate the income between MD and VA based on the gross amount of each paycheck/payment during the time I lived in each state.

The problem is that when I add up those gross amounts myself, they don’t match the totals reported on the actual tax forms:

- W-2: my calculated gross is about $780 higher than the reported wages

- 1099-R #1: my calculated gross is about $2,045 higher than the reported amount

- 1099-R #2: my calculated gross is about $435 higher than the reported amount

So I’m not sure how I’m supposed to split the income between the two states when the amounts I calculated from the payments are higher than the totals actually reported on the W-2 and 1099-Rs.

For the W-2 at least, I had my 2025 employer send me a spreadsheet with my gross earnings for each month, and I calculated $780 more than what's reported in box 1.

Would it be a big deal if I over reported how much income I made in each state, or should I make a fuss about this to get the exact amounts for each month from my previous year's employer and pension departments?

I owe a lot for Federal, so I want to file and pay that off before tax day. I guess I could file, pay what I can, and then request an extension?

This is my first time filing taxes myself, so I'm looking for some advice before I do things.
