@mustangboss Your resident state is where you original lived and claimed as such and the state you plan on returning to if you are away temporarily. Also, you need to factor in other things such as where you live, work, have a driver's license and own property. It seems you have equally qualifying criteria to claim either state as your resident state. I suggest you pick one over the other and get a drivers license in that state as documentary evidence of your residency there.
When you file your tax return, you should get a credit on the tax return in your resident state for taxes paid on the same income to the other state. That should prevent you from being doubled taxed on the same income.
