Residency Status for Tax Purposes if Parents Move During College

Hi, I understand that if I am a college student attending college out-of-state, I am still considered a resident of my home state, at least until I graduate college (for tax purposes).


However, what happens if my parents move to a different state while I am still in college? Would my residency (for tax purposes only) change to their new state?

 

For example, I am a resident of IL and attend a college in CA (Class of 2025). However, my parents are moving to Georgia soon - would I also become a Georgia resident if they become one next year? I have not found guidance online for this issue.
