Question:

Does adult daughter attending school full-time in Michigan file a "non-resident" Michigan return?

Adult daughter will file a Federal and Resident Arizona return - but is she required to file a Non-resident Michigan return as a full-time student in Michigan employed part-time in Michigan?

Yes, your daughter must file a Michigan nonresident return. You must file a Michigan return if you file a federal return or your income exceeds your Michigan exemption allowance. A return must be filed even if you do not owe Michigan tax.
