Will my employer find out if I file a separate residential taxes? I work for a company in CA, they allowed me to work from home. I have since moved to AZ.
I need to file as an AZ resident to get in state tuition rates for school (I must reside in AZ for at least a year). Can I file two returns? One for working in CA and one for living in AZ.
Most importantly, will my employer find out about how I have filed? They do not know that I have moved.

First, unless you advise your employer of your change in address (or they find out another way), they would not get any notification of that change as a result of you filing a tax return.
You would file your federal return and list yourself as a resident of AZ. The program will prompt you to prepare a resident AZ tax return.
Do not answer "Yes" to the question "Did you earn money in any other states?" If you work from home in AZ, you earned your money in AZ.
When you enter your Form W-2 with CA income and CA tax withheld, the program should prompt you to prepare a non-resident CA return. In the CA interview, allocate all your income to AZ; this would result in a full refund of any CA tax withheld.
