I took a new job earlier in 2024, rented for a couple of months, then purchased a second home where I lived the majority of the year, going to work 5 days a week, and going back to my first home just on certain weekends. My wife did eventually move in with me to the second home near my work after she retired. I understand the rule that I can only declare one primary home, so am I required to declare the second home I bought to be closer to my job as my primary home because we lived there most of the year, or can I keep my first home as my primary home given we retained the address of our first home on our driver's licenses and still get mail delivered to our first home (as our adult daughter lives there to collect our mail and mind the house)? Also just wondering what the tax implications are as a result, if any. Thanks in advance.
