I lived in two different states during the 2009 tax year. On my federal tax, my 2 incomes are obviously combined. For the state forms, they ask you to enter information entered on the federal return. However, shouldn't I only report the income I earned in that particular state for which state withholding tax was withdrawn? If so, how to I make adjustments when it asks for my federal adjusted gross income?

I have been working in a foreign embassy since 2007 and now that its time to file the taxes I am just wondering if my income can be treated as a foreign income(non-taxable) since i'm paid by a foreign government(for whose embassy i work). Also if it cannot be treated as a foreign income, where should i report it? I receive my salary by check, and since its an embassy they don't give me a W-2 or a 1099.
My retirement income will be approx 60% of my current income. I will not have social security income. My 401K and other savings will add about another 20 to 25. It this realistic?
