As ThomasM125 mentions above, your son would file a Resident state tax return for Maryland and a Nonresident state tax return for Nebraska. His income will not be counted twice. You will receive a credit on your resident return for the taxes paid on Nebraska earnings.
If you are claiming your son as your dependent, he must be under the age of 19 or under 24 if he is a full time student and you must provide at least half of his support and he must live with you more than half of the year. If he does not meet this and you are claiming him as a qualifying relative, he must make under $5,050.
Tip: To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the non-resident return first if filing in multiple states because your resident state might give you a credit for any taxes paid in that situation.
Once you've determined that you need to file a nonresident state return, the first thing you want to do is make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the "Personal info summary screen", scroll down to "Other State Income", and select "Edit".
- On the screen "Did you make money in any other states?" question, answer "Yes" and make sure your nonresident state(s) are selected from the drop-down.
- Select "Continue" to return to your "Personal info summary".
After you finish your federal return, you'll automatically move to the State tab, where you'll see your nonresident state(s) listed in addition to your resident state.
