I have a job in CA, and worked remotely in Hawaii for 5 weeks. I worked beginning and end in and from CA. A payroll clerk in my job advised me to update my “physical address” to Hawaii while I was there but that I can keep my “mailing address” in CA at my permanent residence.
1. Is the w2 based on the physical address or the mailing address that I list with my job?
2. Is it okay to change the 5 weeks back to my CA physical address since it ended up being more like a visit rather than moving there?
3. if I keep my physical address as Hawaii for those 5 weeks, would I need to pay taxes in both CA and Hawaii? For the whole time I was with the job? For those 5 weeks specifically? Pay income tax twice?
4. does it matter that I’m a CA resident and not a Hawaii resident?
im just wondering what my options are (if I can or should change my physical address back to my permanent residence in CA as I am now back), and what it will entail to file taxes (and if I will be able to file with TurboTax for this situation?).
Thank you for your help!
