in Filing my taxes

I moved from one state to another and on my W-2 for my state income, the software allows me to add another state but for Box 12 it doesn't and it doesn't really say what to do.

For Box 12 I have codes:

C - Life Insurance

D - 401k

DD - Employer Health Coverage

In FreeTaxUSA software , how do I put both in for each state. Do I create 2 entries for each? I am not sure what to do here. For example should I do this?

C

100

C

50

D

1000

D

500

DD

5000

DD

800

Any help is appreciated, thanks

    Hi user2000x,

    Box 12 codes on your W-2 are typically federal-level information and are not allocated separately by state. The amounts in Box 12 (codes C, D, and DD) represent totals for the entire year across all states, so you'll only enter them once on your W-2.

    In the state section of the software, you will be asked to provide information specific to each state you are filing for. For example, if you lived in a state that requires health insurance coverage, this question will appear within that state's entry screens.

    If you need further assistance, please reach out to our Customer Support Team through your account.
