I have large short and long term capital gains (from stocks) and lived in Massachusetts for 9 months of last year of then 3 months in New Hampshire. Massachusetts taxes short term and long term capital gains and New Hampshire does not. Do I prorate the capital gains over the year to each state or specifically allocate the capital gains earned while living in each state?
Allocating the gains seems to make more sense and would be more beneficial based on the timing of the gains but I can't seem to figure out which way is correct. Thanks for any help.
