My daughter worked in Ohio, New York, and Colorado. Her legal address is in New York. She has an apartment in Ohio because she worked there for 4 months in 2007 and had a summer job in Colorado. Does she file state taxes in all three states? Is there a minimum amount earned before you have to file? Thanks

She DOES have to file tax returns in all three states, though she may not have to pay much in taxes to either Ohio or Colorado.

ALL of the income has to be claimed on the NY return, but she will given a credit for the taxes paid to Ohio and Colorado.

She should attach copies of the Ohio and Colorado tax return to her NY state tax return when she files; it answers questions before they get asked!
