Residency for Students out-of-state
I've currently been in Florida attending college since Aug 2022. I'm from Indiana, that's where my parents are. They support me with food money, but grant money covers rent. I have an Indiana driver's license, and because of this I had to register to vote in Indiana. I never lived in Indiana in 2023, and I never worked in Indiana in 2023, but I have 3 W2s from Florida from working there in 2023. When doing my taxes, I put my residency state as Florida, because I lived there for more than half the year and I have bank accounts addressed to FL. When I put in IN for residency at first, it said I owed $600...but without using IN as residency state, I owed nothing (FL doesn't have income taxes.) However, my parents claimed me as a dependent on their taxes. My federal return was accepted still. Did I do something wrong? I'm in FL for school but I do not plan on moving back to Indiana once I'm finished. I don't have a vehicle in FL either. My parents believe that I should've put my residency in IN, but I never lived there during the year... I feel my situation is complicated but I'm sure it's probably really simple. I would just like to make sure that I didn't input information incorrectly.
