A sublet from what I understand is defined as granting full access only to the sub-letter, not also to still reside in the same space.
A tenant can sublet all or part of the demised premises (typically, doing so requires the permission of the landlord).
Regardless, if the state is going to take the position that the payments to you constitute rental income, there is not much you can do about it beyond looking for, and documenting, as many deductions as possible, such as utilities, cleaning/maintenance, repairs, et al.
