You're absolutely correct in terms of how Lacerte expects us to handle it, how clunky it is and how it impacts so many different things. I cannot believe they haven't programmed the software to handle dual residents. Makes no sense! In my case, I had to forgo filing the dual resident state and instead file a full year resident + full year non resident. I was not about to go through all those steps and sadly I'd probably do the same thing again.
