Allocation of Interest Income between states

[Spartini]

Part-year resident of AR and AL.  I cannot figure out how to allocate Interest Income between the two states.  I have entered and divided interest income on the Allocation Worksheet but the full amount still shows up on Alabama (the current state of residence).  Can anyone help out a new-bee?

Im not familiar with AL, but some states will still use total income, then use a ratio % to compute the tax on it based on the allocated amount....you may want to print out the AL return and walk through the math on it to see the mechanics.

Wisconsin does as Lisa said, and a lot of states do it that way

For states that are not "specific" in their income many people just allocate # days to each state.
