Question

Last year, I worked as a student employee in Virginia, and, for 3 months during the summer, I had an internship in Austin, Texas. In the question asking if I made money in another state, TurboTax directed me to answer no because Texas doesn't collect income tax. I am just wondering if I need to include the w2 from my internship in Austin in my tax return.

You will need to include the W-2 from Austin in your federal return.  TurboTax will help you determine if it also gets included in your Virginia return when you start the state interview.  

All income, even when earned in a tax-free state, is still entered for calculation of your federal tax.
