Travel Therapist

Hi, 

So I am originally from Stl, MO (my driver's license is still the state of MO - where my parent's live). However, last year I moved to Colorado as a traveling therapist but put MO as my permanent residence (but I plan on moving back to CO in two years - which my car's insurance is listed in CO). But I currently live in CA and that's where I work but it is not my permanent address. 

I also do work as an independent contractor when I go back to CO. 

I am confused as to when I fill out 1040 or 1099 forms if I should put any deductions since my CA is a temporary address and I want my CO address to be my permanent but my driver's license is still MO. Will I have to pay and file taxes in all three states? Should I also file jointly with my spouse which he works remotely as an independent contractor for companies out of CA. 

 

The reason why I didn't switch my driver's license over is that it doesn't expire until nov 2022.
