State tax filing

No, you wife is not a Wisconsin resident.  If your wife is in Wisconsin for school and did not intend Wisconsin to be her domicile, it is considered a temporary absence and she maintains her Colorado residency.  Since Wisconsin does not have a statutory resident (based on the number of days she is in the state), she is a Wisconsin nonresident.  You can change her filing in the Wisconsin section of TurboTax.
