As college a student, if you are claiming her as a dependent, she would still be a MA resident. If she does not qualify as your dependent, then she remains a MA resident unless and until she takes action to change her residency. That would include things like getting a California drivers license, registering her vehicle in California, etc. Also, has she established a permanent abode in California, or is MA still her primary residence. If has not taken the necessary steps to establish CA residence, she should file a MA resident tax return and a CA non-resident tax return.
