If my permanent address is in Indiana, but I lived and worked in Michigan do I need to file taxes for both states? Which would be resident/non-resident?

Jan-May I lived in Ohio and worked in Michigan. May-August I lived in Michigan and worked in Michigan. August-December I lived in Indiana but did not work. Indiana is my permanent address.

Are you a college student with a permanent home of Indiana?

Yes I am. I did two internships. @TurboTaxDanielV

You will file an Indiana resident return.  Indiana will tax all of your income.  You will file Ohio and Michigan returns only if Ohio or Michigan state tax (box 17 on the W2) was withheld, because both Ohio and Michigan are reciprocal states with Indiana who allow all of your income to be taxed in Indiana only.  

Local taxes are another story, however.  They are not a part of the reciprocal agreement, but you may claim a credit for local taxes you pay outside of Indiana as a credit on your Indiana return.  The following instructions show how:  

1. Make sure on the W2 screen (on the Federal side of the return) that the local tax information in boxes 18-20 is associated with Michigan and/or Ohio
2. Make sure (on the Indiana return) you fill out the correct residency information, including your count of residency and Out of state, Michigan (or Ohio) as your county of employment.
3. After several screens, you will come to a screen titled:  Take a look at Indiana credits and taxes.
4. Under the subheading Personal, home, and family credits, click the Start box for Credit for Non-Indiana Local Taxes.
5. Click Yes on the next screen.
6. Fill in the appropriate information from your W-2 on the next screen entitled Credit for Non-Indiana Local Taxes.

You will then be credited for the amount you might have paid to the Michigan and/or Ohio localities up to the amount you are taxed in your Indiana county on this same income
