My daughter is a 21-year old 4 year college student. She lives and goes to college in South Carolina. She works as a server/bartender in South Carolina and made about $5500. She also had a 2.5 month internship in Daytona Beach, FL. We got an AirBNB for that time period. She made approximately $6000 in that position. Florida does not have state income tax so there is nothing in the state or local wages boxes. I have 2 questions:
Thank you!
Susan
Since FL does not have a state income tax, you do not need to file a return for FL.
You will need to file a Non-Resident return for SC since she earned income in SC.
If she is planning on returning home, or has not set up a new home elsewhere (assuming that is why she was in an AirBnB) then her home is still your home and her absence is considered temporary.
Thank you for your response. I realize that I wasn't very clear in my original post. We live in SC and she goes to college in SC. The 2.5 month internship was in FL. So just for clarification, would I need to file a non-resident for SC? She is an SC resident. My biggest question is do I need to say that she lived in another state for 2023?
No. If you live in SC, then you would file a resident return for SC that would include all of her income from both FL and SC.
No, you do not need to say she lived in another state. It is not considered living in another state if she is just there temporarily.
