I had income from two states in 2008. I am a non-resident for tax purposes so I have prepared 1040-NR for accordingly.
For both the states, when I look at their non-resident tax forms, I see that tax is estimated on my total income as in 1040 federal form. However, state tax was deducted only from the income from that state. I have W2 forms for both jobs. Has anyone been in such situation before? What did you do if so? Any indicators will be appreciated.

You just need to fill out the tax forms for your current state of residence and states where you were part year resident. The forms are straightforward in general; just work through them one at a time. If you are uncomfortable doing so, get a tax professional or call to state's equivalence of the IRS for assistance
