현재 배우자와 9학년, 10학년 아이 둘이 있습니다. 조만간 LA 로 혼자 이주하게 되었습니다. 향후에 아이들이 California 주립대학을 입학하게 될 때, California 주 resident 로 인정받기 위해서 세금보고 문제를 질문드립니다. 이 경우 세금보고를 할 경우 부부의 주소가 서로 다르게 됩니다. MFJ 로 보고하여도 문제가 없는 것 인가요? 또한 state tax 보고에는 문제가 없게 되나요? 아니면 다른 방식으로 세금보고를 해야 하나요?

1. 공동보고하는 경우 우편물을 받을 수 있는 주거주지로 어느 주소를 사용할지 결정하시면 됩니다. 자세한 것은 거래하시는 회계사에게 방문하셔서 직접 물어 보세요
2. 주정부 보고는 주거주지에서는 모든 소득을 보고합니다. 다른 주에는 그 주에서 소득이 있다면 해당하는 소득만 보고 합니다.
The IRS defines your tax home as the "entire city or general area" of your workplace. If you work in Pittsburgh, for example, then your tax home is the entire Pittsburgh metro area. The tax home designation doesn't have anything to do with where you actually live—the place where you lay your head at night. You could live 100 miles from your workplace and commute, but the workplace would still be your tax home.
Why your workplace is home
The tax home designation exists for the purpose of deducting work-related travel expenses, which is why your workplace, rather than your house or apartment, is "home." Imagine if you really did live 100 miles outside Pittsburgh but worked in the city.
If you were allowed to count your house out in the country as your tax home, then, theoretically, you could consider any money you spent in Pittsburgh to be a work-related travel expense. The IRS is wise to these kinds of tricks, which is why "tax home" is what it is.
When you have no regular workplace
Some people have workplaces that are divided among several places. In such cases, the IRS expects you to choose one as your work home based on several criteria: •How much time you spend in each place. •How much work you actually do in each place. •How much money you make in each place.
Of these, the IRS says time spent in each place is the most important.
If you work at home or travel to assignments directly from home, without a fixed workplace, your tax home may well be your actual home. If you don't have a fixed workplace and you have no fixed home address, the IRS might consider you itinerant, in which case you wouldn’t be able write off any travel expenses because you're never "away from home."
