Add some information---were you working in CA?  Working for a CA employer or a NY employer and telecommuting?    And what does any of it have to do with Arizona at this point---were you living/working in AZ at any point in 2020?  Or is this strictly an issue of whether you lived/worked in CA and/or NY?

no working;   I'm retired.

I've lived with my sister in NY since 2011 so my drivers license is NY as is my car registration but I spent no time there in 2020.

I was at an airbnb rental from Jan thru end of May.  Kids found me a month to month rental in CA but in Aug the air quality due to nearby forest fires sent me to AZ to live with one of them.  Returned to CA on Dec 2nd.
