I am still confused on how to fill some of the fields in Turbo Tax to reflect below. I request your help specifically to please confirm the TurboTax entries accordingly.
Context:
- California: I was born in California and have been living there until end of 2023 in my parent's house which is also my mailing address. My driving license, voting, parent's/mailing address and bank accounts are in CA. I filed my taxes in CA in 2023.
- New York: I rented an apartment in New York from Nov 2023 where I lived for all of 2024 including Dec 31st, 2024. I visited my parent's house in CA only for few days now and then may be max. 20 days. I work remotely in NY and plan to move back to CA to my parents end around October of this year.
I downloaded both New York and California state for TurboTax. Please confirm if below look ok or if I should change anything.
Questions:
1) Should I mark No for "Were you a California nonresident during all of 2024?" ( though I stayed only in New York throughout 2024 including December 31st of 2024? )
2) I understand that I am considered domiciled in California. Am I right?
3) I visited my parents multiple times in 2024, stayed in their house.. approximately for a total of 60 days.
4) Residency information before 2024
5) Period of California residency before 2024
6) Though I changed the entry to No in step 1, when I come back to it, TurboTax changes my entry back to Yes for that and fills the form as non-resident. Please advise what I a missing.
