Paid co-op

[RTZ1]

A 22 year old college student had a full-time paid co-op in Georgia for Jan. - May 2024 and Aug -Dec 2024. No college credit was earned and the student took a leave of absence to participate in the co-op. The student's home state is Mississippi and is registered to vote there still. Would she owe state taxes to Mississippi on income earned in Georgia? She did not work in Mississippi at all in 2024.

If she is a resident of Mississippi, then yes, she would need to report the income she earned in Georgia on a Mississippi tax return. Since the income is also taxable in Georgia, she may qualify for a tax credit to reduce or eliminate the impact of double taxation.
