I have three questions regarding my tax return and my daughter’s tax return, but first here is some background information. During 2021, my daughter lived at college in Pennsylvania for approximately 4 months, she lived at home in Pennsylvania for approximately 3 months, and she lived in Ohio while attending college there for approximately 5 months. While she was in college in PA nearly all of her support were distributions from her 529 plan for tuition, room, and board. While she was living at home in PA my wife and I also provided nearly all of her support. While she lived in Ohio, the vast majority of her support were distributions from her 529 plan for tuition and rent (she paid for food, utilities, and other misc items). All of the contributions to her 529 plan over the years have been from my wife and me. My daughter had earned income from PA during 2021, but none from OH.
- Can my wife and I claim her as a dependent on our 2021 tax return?
- Does my daughter have to file an Ohio state tax return for 2021, or just a PA one?
- In Turbo Tax, it asks if she lived in another state in 2021. Should she check “yes” or “no”?
