I worked or attended a university in another state and paid state taxes. How do I report this on my federal tax return and am I required to file a state tax return?
You may claim an itemized deduction on Form 1040NR-EZ (line 11) or Form 1040NR (line 36) for any state taxes withheld. You may also be required to file a state income tax return in addition to the Federal Income Tax Return, if you earned income in a state that withholds state taxes. Florida does not have state withholding tax.
