I'm still not sure that's clear. We need to talk about the concept of domicile. Your domicile is your permanent or main residence. You can only have one domicile at a time. You can be away from your domicile for a long time, even years, without changing your domicile. It depends on facts, circumstances and intent. There is no single factor that determines where your domicile is located, it depends on a combination of factors including things like where you own a home or have a long term lease; where you are registered to vote; where your significant social relationships are located like church and clubs; where your significant professional relationships are located like your primary care doctor, dentist, attorney; where you intend to return after any temporary assignments; and so on. To establish a new domicile, you have to take active steps to abandon your former domicile. You could change domiciles 3 times in one year, if that was your intent. Or, you might move around on temporary assignments, with the intention of returning to your original domicile at the end of the assignment.
This is important because you said you moved "back" to NH, and then you moved to CA but kept some documents in NH. (Although that by itself is not enough to establish that you maintained your NH domicile or moved your domicile to CA. It depends on all factors.)
So I return to my original question, phrased slightly differently. Where was your domicile at each period of the year? Were you always domiciled in VA, changed your domicile to NH, then changed your domicile again to CA? Or something else?
