A student attending school in GA, the student is a WA resident, to answer "what was your state of residence in 2025", none of the 3 answers is correct.

date of GA residency, from and to, how to fill out the from and to dates, since student come home during school break

the student was not a GA resident.  As a student, being away at college is considered temporary, and the permanent residence doesn't change.  the student was a WA resident ALL YEAR.

If the student had income, in GA, while there as a student, he probably needs to file a GA non resident return. 

If you are a resident one state and work in another state; that income is subject to taxation by both states. This is how it works (in most cases): You file a nonresident return for the state you worked in, reporting only the income you earned there.

You report all your income on your resident state return, including the income earned in the other state. Your home state calculates tax on all your income, but gives you a credit, or partial credit, for tax you paid to the other state.

When you reside in a state without an income tax (e.g. Washington), there will be no credit, since there was no WA tax.  But that does not get you out of paying state tax on that income, to the work location state.
