here's the conundrum: you are claiming your daughter on your Maryland taxes, correct? If you want to make absolutely sure MD doesn't go after your daughter for state taxes, I would probably have her get a CA driver's license. For most states, you just have to take a written test if you already have a driver's license. It is a bit of a pain, but the effort might be worth it to save her thousands of dollars. I moved from California to Michigan several years ago and I had to pay taxes in both states. I found - at that time - that California's tax laws for students to be very very nice. I got a lot of credits and nice refunds on a regular basis. Must be all those movie stars evening out the tax base. Given California's economic troubles of late, I'm not sure what the tax situation is now. -b-
