Can I file a 540

Hello all,

 

I'm currently stationed in Japan... California is home. I'm trying to take online classes at my local community college back home but it specifically requires a 540 and NOT a 540NR in order to recieve in-state tuition. 

 

My online source of income is the military.

 

Am I allowed to file a 540 anyway to provide to my school as proof of residency?
