Q.  As a college student from OH, but attending college in VA, what do I claim as my state of residence for income earned at the college?

A. Both

 

While "away at college", you are still considered a full year resident of your home state.  Normally (almost all other states), you would file a non resident VA return and an Ohio resident return.  But not VA.  See MaryK4 replies for details. 

 

OH will give you a credit, or partial credit, for the tax you pay to VA.
