Solved: Do I need to file in multiple states if I earned and lived in one, but my Drivers License and ID are from a state I used to live in?

Do I need to file in multiple states if I earned and lived in one, but my Drivers License and ID are from a state I used to live in?

I lived and earned in the state of MO in 2018. I've been attending school in MO for the last 4 years. I graduated in May of this year and got a job that kept me in MO. My drivers license and ID is still from the state of KS where I grew up. I plan on getting MO documents but haven't done it yet. Do I need to file a KS return on top of my MO?

No, you don't need to file a Kansas state return just because you still have a driver's license from that state.

It appears you have done everything else to establish residency in Missouri, and that is the state in which your income was earned, so you are a Missouri resident for income tax purposes.
