Thank you for the quick response! No, I am not claimable as a dependent.
Yes, I have to file as a resident of Washington DC by their rules. Thank you for confirming that.
But seemingly, yes, I also have to file as a resident of New York State by their rules. Before school, I lived in New York; I've accepted a job offer after school in New York; the reason that I am in Washington DC is for school; my drivers license, voter registration, permanent address for mail (such as for tax returns!), etc. are all in New York. All that makes me a full-time resident of New York State too, yes? That's my conundrum.
So, help!, what justification do I give if New York audits me?
