State tax filing

In general, your home state will tax all income from all sources.  

 

You will file a nonresident return for the states that you do not reside in, VA for your daughter, since she earned money there.  When you file, you will fille out your nonresident states first.  Then you will fill out her resident state, claiming a credit for taxes paid to the nonresident states on your home state return.  You may or may not still end up owing money to your resident state depending on whether or not their tax rate is higher or lower than your nonresident state.  If the non resident state had a higher tax rate than your resident state, your credit will be limited to the amount of tax you would have paid to your resident state.  They will not give you a refund of the taxes you paid to the nonresident state.
