California FTB sent our 1099-G to a new address (It was not forwarded by post office, instead the new address was printed on it). How do they track our address change?
We were part-time residents of CA in 2014 with primary residence in MI. In 2015 my wife started school in UCLA . Both of us signed a lease agreement for her apartment in LA and the utility bills are in my name as she don't have SSN. I still live and work out of Michigan and there are no 2015 W2 for me or my wife in CA. Surprisingly FTB sent 2015 form 1099-G (for the 2014 tax refund) to the Los Angeles apartment address. Does this mean FTB track our address based on apartment lease/utility bills and consider us as California residents for tax purposes? Please note that both of us still hold MI drivers license and never took a CA license. Do we have to file CA income tax return even though we don't have any income generated from CA and given my wife will be returning to MI after her graduation.

With respect to your California income tax question, you have a 2015 lease in California which indicates that you will be in California for other than temporary reasons. You may not have any California income but we suggest that you still file because you leased property in the state.

On the second part, do you know if they track address and state of residency based on an apartment lease? I am not sure how they got our LA address in their records to send the 10998-G form.

on an indefinite job assignment" , I guess the catch is the word "indefinite", with regard to our case my wife has a definite graduation date (June 2017 ) and I continued to be in MI even though I was on the lease . So I am a bit confused on how to proceed. Assuming the best case scenario ( our move doesn't qualify as a permanent move), in that case do we still need to file a CA state return (if so what income will we show on the return) ? If we file the return only to MI and not to CA , what's the worst thing that can happen.?

Well, you certainly have me thoroughly confused. How did you file federal/California taxes in 2014 (and then receive a 1099-G in 2015 for a refund) when your wife has no SSN? Is she a resident alien? Does she have an ITIN?
I think you should seek professional tax advise for solutions to your problem. Good luck.
