Thank you so much for your reply.
Sorry that this is the first year my daughter goes to college out of state and I'm confused about how to do the tax return. Could you please clarify the following?
So we (parents and daughter) will have to file the following 5 tax returns:
1. Parents - Federal (claims daughter as a dependent, does NOT report daughter's income here?)
2. Parents - CA state (claims daughter as a dependent, does NOT report daughter's income here?)
3. Daughter - Federal (indicates parents claim her as a dependent, reports her scholarship and other income?)
4. Daughter - CA state Resident l (indicates parents claim her as a dependent, reports her scholarship and other income?)
5. Daughter - MA state non-resident (indicates parents claim her as a dependent, reports her scholarship and other income?)
Thank you!
