Confused! If my child goes to school full time, and works during the summer in the city of her college, can they still file as dependent (they are not living with me)? Also filing my child on my tax return will not raise or lower your benefit from the IRS. Where it will maybe lower it will be in the state tax return.
So, you are saying it is ok to leave the two states on the tax return where they went to college? My child had to pay taxes in one of the taxes where they worked. So if I file an amended return to claim my child as a dependent, ( I will get not benefit from doing this, except maybe in the state), I can keep the two addresses on the tax return as they were previously filed as you are saying they are only being used as a mailing address? The problem is that they have to pay taxes to the state where the income was earned, and Turbo tax automatically assumes you are a resident of the state where you mailing address is on the tax return. Therefore you cannot do that as don't you have to be a resident of the state where your parents reside?
