Hi - my father lived in NY his whole life. I live in CA and am his only child and heir. I flew to NY every year that he was alive, to do his taxes for him on his computer, as he got older. He died last year. I just downloaded TT on my computer (in CA) and want to know if I need to file taxes for him in CA, in NY, or both?
I did change his (postal) mailing address to mine last year, after he went into a care home and could no longer manage his finances. So all of his tax documents have my CA address on them.
I know I have to file, but in which state or states? Thank you in advance!!

File a federal and a NY tax return for your father's final returns. Your physical location and his mailing address for tax forms didn't change his state of residence - he lived in NY his whole life.
If any of his tax documents listed CA for tax purposes (reporting income or withholding state/local tax), you may have to file a CA return to get a refund of tax paid. In that event, he would be listed as a non-resident of CA and none of his income would be attributable to CA.
.... And, our condolences for your loss.
