I Moved for Trade School

Q. For 2023 was I a resident of  Wyoming or Utah?

A. Utah. 

Clearly, you were only temporarily away from your primary residence. This is particularly true, in the case of the absence being for the purpose of attending school.  You were not a resident of WY, for 2023, not even a part year resident. 

If you had any income in WY, that income is taxable and reportable on your (full year) UT resident tax return. 

[JulieS · Accepted solution]

Yes, you are still a resident of Utah since your absence was temporary and short term (less than one year). 

When you are away from home for education, you aren't considered to have changed your residence unless you do something like buy a home, register to vote, or get a driver's license.  Find out more here.
