living as a guest in my friend's house
Hi!
I would like to ask for your advice in the following situation:
Last year I lived with my husband in a rented apartment for 7 months. Then I lived abroad for 2 months. Then, I returned to the US and lived the remaining 3 months as a guest in the houses of two friends without paying rent. At this moment I don't have a permanent residence anywhere. I had my W2 form for the last year mailed to the address of one of my friends.
My questions are:
1. What address should I give to IRS as permanent address if at this moment I don't have a permanent address?Can I give the address of a friend without this impacting her tax status?
2. When I am asked about whether I rent or own, I don't see a third option. The last three months of 2023 I neither owned, nor rented. I just lived in my friends' houses as a guest as they also lived in my house as guests when they have passed through a difficult personal time in their life. How do I define the time spent as a guest in the houses of my friends?
Thank you very much for all your suggestion.
