Thank you. Because my job assignment in CA is indefinite and I don't have plans to relocate to FL, I think the safer bet would be for me to file a CA resident return. I can allocate with the system the investment accounts (the ones from my wife, the ones that are mine, the ones that are joint) same with the HSA which we have separate HSAs etc.
In that case, my Joint Federal return will have my FL address and my CA return will have my rental apartment in CA (the same address as the W2).
What happens with my tax loss carryovers from prior years @DavidD66 and which adjustments do I need to make to CA? Can I claim my children in CA even though they don't live with me?
