Determining state residency can depend on a variety of facts and circumstances as well as individual state law.

 

For tax purposes, a college student is usually a resident of their home state because they are only temporarily out of state to attend college. If they also work in the state where they attend school, they may need to file a tax return for that state if their earnings exceed the state's threshold for a nonresident to be required to file,
