State Tax Return

Forum|Forum|5 years ago

My son lives in Texas and is currently attending college. He did an internship in the state of Delaware and paid state income taxes in 2020. Does he have to file a state return? If so, can it be done manually and mailed in? Thank you.

Not A Product Question

Best answer by DawnC

Yes, he needs to file a nonresident return for DE. And he is probably going to need to file a federal return. Both of those can be done manually, but he can e-file for free, if not through TurboTax, then through the IRS Free File. I suggest the Free File only because of the nonresident DE tax return. With all of the covid delays, I highly recommend e-filing this year.

Do I need to file a federal return this year? There is a link included if he is a dependent on your return to verify whether or not he needs to file. Even if he isn't required to, he may want to to get his withholdings back if possible.
