I have the following situation:
- I work remotely (since 2024) for my employer whose headquarters is in Washington DC.
- My driving license and mailing address for IRS is in CA (my parent's address. Mom helps me with taxes)
- Moved to NY end of 2023 and rented apartment. Filed 2024 taxes as NY resident and NY domicile.
- Moved to Chicago on July 1st 2025, renting apartment along with my girl friend. (we won't buy house)
- Plan to live in IL for at least next 2.5 years. Not sure where I will land up after that.
- I continue to work remotely for the same employer.
For 2025 year tax:
I think I may need to file 2 tax returns as partial resident of NY and partial resident of IL.
I guess I can make IL as my domicile which will also help lower my taxes as long as I live in IL.
Question:
I request your advice if I should do anything as I am thinking of making IL my domicile and For example:
- Should I change my driving license /address with DMV? (Currently parent's address in CA)
- Should I inform IRS of the new address of my rented apartment in IL ? (Currently parent's address in CA)
- Should I do anything else?
Thank you so much in advance for your advice.
