<p>Maybe someone with experience will jump in. Each state’s income tax authority should have a phone number to call for information just like the IRS. Maybe you will just have to call. Just like the IRS though, it depends how informed the person taking your call is as to whether you will get the right answer. But document the call(s) anyway in case questions come up later. The few times I’ve had to call the IRS I could tell who knew what they were talking about and who didn’t or was just reading a canned answer and just wanted to get me off the phone. When the latter happened I just called back a little later and talked to someone else.</p>
