    When filing in 2 states, where do you claim interest on savings?
    Hello,

    I held jobs in 2 states in 2008, and am consequently filing in both states. In which state do I need to claim the interest earned on savings, etc.. Thanks for your help!

    You report interest and other non-wage income (capital gains, dividends, etc) in the state where you lived when you received it. If you lived in multiple states during the year, you split the income based on the timing of when you received the income.
