Taxable Scholarships, Filing Status and FAFSA

<p>OK, now my question is about state taxes.</p>

<p>Child’s permanent residence is in California
Child’s college in Massachussetts</p>

<p>Regarding the taxable portion of the scholarship declared on federal tax:</p>

<p>Should a California state income tax be filed just because of this?
Should the scholarship be declared on the state income tax?
Should the scholarship be considered to be “earned” in a different state?</p>

<p>complicated…</p>
