Hi there,
I request your guidance:
Context:
I have been living in CA and filing with my state taxes as CA until end of 2023. I rented an apartment in New York for all of 2024 as I wanted to spend some time there, though I worked remotely from home. I plan to move back to CA to my parents in few months this year. I entered my my parent's address as my mailing address in CA, as my apartment in NYC is temporary and I don't want to miss any mails in future.
For my state taxes: In the screen "Confirm Your Permanent Home Address" If I change my permanent home address as of December 31st 2024 to New York, my taxes are increases by few thousands, but a refund appears if I choose permanent address as my mailing address in California. Am I expected to add my permanent home address as New York because I rented an apartment there for whole 2024 ? Is New York considered my Domicile and permanent abode, etc..?
Also, when I search on google, I read that the state taxes in New York are less than California. But I am wondering why my taxes are increasing by $6000+ when I choose NY instead of CA. Please help me understand if I am missing something.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
