State tax filing

@ParentMark If you are being claimed as a dependent by your parents in IL, they are allowed to say that you lived with them all year.  Living away at college is a "temporary absence."    So.....that means you file a NON-resident CA return for the income earned in CA, and a resident return for IL.   Prepare the NON-resident return first.
