Wisconsin/Minnesota college student residency
Hi, We are Wisconsin residents and my daughter goes to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. She is still considered domiciled in Wisconsin according to what the state of Wisconsin says. I would have thought she would be considered a non-resident of Minnesota for Minnesota tax purposes, but in helping with her taxes, we discovered the 183 day rule along with living in an apartment (not a dorm), that make her also a Minnesota resident. So for 2019 she filed resident tax forms for both WI and MN through TurboTax. She made a little over $5,000 last year. So she ended up getting back what she paid MN in taxes.
She has an internship this summer and may continue to work into the fall, so she will make significantly more next year. It looks like TurboTax WI did not give her credit for tax paid to MN. Is this because she is residents of both states for tax purposes? She didn't owe WI this year, but next year she will earn much more than the WI standard deduction. So will she have to pay income tax to both states? I'm very confused, can anyone help?
