Student in Virginia more than 183 days

[Cathy29]

Virginia requires that students who spend more than 183 days in state are required to file a resident tax return even if they are a domiciliary resident of another state.  I'm a Colorado resident who attends grad school in Virginia, how do I use turbo tax to file as a resident of both states.  

From Virginia Individual Income Tax Instructions:

Actual Resident
You are an actual resident if:
You maintained an abode in Virginia or were physically
present in Virginia for more than 183 total days during the
taxable year, even if you are a domiciliary resident of another
state or country.
If you are an actual resident of Virginia, you may be required
to file as a resident in Virginia and in your domiciliary state.
In this situation, you should claim a credit on the return filed
in the state of your legal domicile for taxes paid to Virgin

Enter your Virginia information first. Make sure that you are treated as a resident in Virginia (it should ask this very early in the VA interview).

Then enter the Colorado information. Any tax generated for Virginia should appear as a credit on your CO return.
