Hello all,
I have a quick question regarding my state resident status for the year 2020.
Background: I am a resident alien for tax purposes and an international student attending a college in MN since 2016.
Due to COVID-19, I went back to my home country and have been out of the country since April 2020.
Apartment status: Even though I was not present at my apartment, I had to keep my apartment lease (1-year lease) till the end of July 2020. I signed another lease for the 2020-2021 academic year in March 2020 but transferred my lease to another person (takeover) in July 2020 as I decided to take a gap year.
I am returning to MN to continue my study in Fall 2021.
What is my MN resident status for the year 2020 for tax purposes?
I really appreciate all of your help and advice!
