Hello, my daughter lives in New York State and attended college in New York. She had a, roughly, 4 month unpaid internship in South Carolina but worked a separate job while there. I'm wondering how to enter a few things for Taxes and could use some help.
1. When asked how many months did my daughter live with me, do I claim the full 12 months as she was a college student that entire time or 8 months?
2. Because she earned income in South Carolina, does she need to file a State Return for South Carolina?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can claim that she lived with you all 12 months of the year. Attending college is considered a temporary absence.
She does need to file a non-resident SC return since she received SC income from wages earned in SC. There is not a minimum income requirement that must be met.
To learn more, take a look at the following SC FAQ under the Filing Requirement section:
She must include the SC income on her NY state return. NY will give her a credit for the tax paid to SC, if any.
