I'm a grad student living in VA and earned the majority of my income in VA. I earned some income in Michigan. I have MA residency but did not earn any income there (it is my permanent address as it is where my parents live). How do I file? What residency

I moved to Virginia in January

If you are a permanent resident of MA and did not change your permanent residency to VA (you didn't get a VA driver's license or register to vote in VA) then you will need to file VA and MI nonresident state income tax returns (for your VA and MI source income only). You will also need to file a MA resident state tax return (for all income from all sources including VA and MI wages). You will get a state income tax credit in MA for any VA and MI state income taxes that you paid on your nonresident VA and MI state income tax returns.

You will want to work on your nonresident VA and MI state income tax returns first. You will then take a tax credit from your nonresident VA and MI state income taxes on your resident MA state income tax return. (Please note that you will only get a tax credit for your VA and MI state income taxes up to the amount of MA state income taxes that would have been paid if the income was earned in MA).  The credit for taxes paid to another state section will be at the end of your residence state's interview process.

Just follow the TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do your nonresident state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and credits to your resident states return

Here is additional information about filing in multiple states (select "see more answer" to view the entire attachment)
