I am a graduate student. Am I considered a resident of OH (where I go to school) or my home state?

I am a graduate student with a year-long lease for an apartment in OH.  For car insurance purposes, I have vehicle registration and license in OH, but I have every intention of moving back to my home state after graduating.  Which state am I considered a resident of... OH or my home state?

If you lived in OH the whole year, I would consider you a resident of OH. However, there are exceptions as listed in the TurboTax FAQ below.

I determine it by asking "where do you come home to after school/work?"

Once you graduate and move to another state, your residency will move to that state.

You can always review the different situations and see examples in the TurboTax FAQ below:
