Ohio state residency question.

[edwa262323]

I living in an apartment in Ohio, I moved in the mid-year from Michigan. I am applying to med schools and don't have an intent to stay long-term in Ohio. Am I a resident?

Based on the information from the Ohio Department of Taxation, you would be considered a part-year resident because you were a n Ohio resident for a part of the year and a non-resident for a part of the year. 

Ohio defines a resident for income tax purposes, is someone who's domiciled in Ohio, which you are. They define a non-resident as someone who was a resident of another state for the entire year. You don't fit in either of those categories.

Review the Ohio Department of Taxation website for Ohio Residency for more information.

It's not clear cut. Do you still have a home in MI? If you moved from your parent's home, then it's more iffy.  Normally, being in another state for schooling is only considered a temporary absence from your primary residence state. 

But, you don't need to move to simply apply to schools. So, from the little info you supplied, you are probably a part year Ohio resident.
