Question

Answer 1

You will still be a resident of Texas unless you go through the process to change your residency.

Answer 2

You'll be a resident of Texas. In order to change residency in a way that'll be accepted by law, you have to be able to show that you're intending to make your home there. This can involve anything from switching your license and financial matters over to an address in the new state and living their for a year, to buying property or marrying someone from that state..

In some places, universities will consider you for in-state tuition after your first year of grad school, but not for college. Presumably, your parents are declaring you as an dependent on their tax records and supporting you. You could consider yourself a resident, but, for example, if you were applying for in-state tuition at Florida State, you would be told you were NOT a resident.

Answer 3

Some states do not allow you to become a resident for tuition purposes if you move to that state specifically to go to school. However, you can get a driver's license and vote in that state. In many states, you can opt to keep a license and vote in the state where your parents reside (in your case, Texas).

There are some states -- California for example -- where you are allowed to become a resident of the state for tuition purposes after one year. This allows you to get in-state rates at that time (if you are at a public university).

When you graduate -- any state that you move to becomes your new state of residence.

For you, that means that you can keep your Texas residency while in school. If you graduate & move back to Texas -- you remain a Texas resident. But if you graduate and move to New York, you become a New York resident -- even though you never lived there before.

Answer 4

if florida is the residence you claim and were you pay your taxes for that year. You will be considered a resident of that state. My Brother lived in north dakota for 4 years and now is in boston for 2 but his claim is wisconsin were i live. and he pays his state taxes here. So his residence is Wisconsin. even though for 6years he hasnt lived here. keep that in mind if you keep your mail coming to your parents or any of that.

Answer 5

You will be a resident of Florida, which is a good thing. I love Florida
