A student who is away to attend school is still considered a resident of his home state/city for tax purposes. He will be a non-resident everywhere else.
In your situation, your son will file a Federal return, an Ohio Resident return, and a New York Non-Resident return. His New York non-resident return will report only the income earned in New York. The Ohio return will report ALL income, but provide an allowance for any tax paid to the state of New York. (He will not be taxed on the same income twice.)
When completing the state section of
Turbo Tax, he must do the NY non-resident state before the OH resident
state. This will allow the credit to be calculated and applied to his Ohio
return.
For the city returns:
-The City of Athens requires a non-resident to file a return if they worked more than 12 days within the city, and the employer did not withhold 100% of the tax due.
-Check with your city, as he may not be required to file with them if he does not have any city-source income for 2015.
-Manhattan is part of New York City, and the NYC return is integrated into the NY state return. He will file as a non-resident for both New York State and New York City using the same form.
