State tax filing

@mccallgabrielle - Bottom line: you can probably just file a MS return and not bother with GA. This is because  you will graduate soon and do not intend to return to GA.  This assumes you are not still your parent's dependent for 2019.  Since, GA & MS tax rates are similar, you come out about the same either way, other than the cost and hassle of filing a 2nd state

 

However, a student is usually considered a resident of the state he matriculated from, until he proactively changes it.
