I don’t know the specifics of those states but D has a similar situation. We used TaxAct last year and it took care of both state tax returns for free. The college state return was ridiculously complex for her very low earnings, but the program did most of the work.

In general, if the student comes home in the summer, they maintain their original state of residence.

Residency is not something you can just decide. Each state has rules and rules may be different for different purposes. I suggest googling “MA state income tax nonresident” and look for the definition.
