Hi guys. Please forgive me if this is illegal - definitely let me know, bc that’s not what I’m trying to do here.

I was born and raised in FL. Moved to CA for a job, laid off (surviving off unemployment + Medi-Cal), now back to being employed as a FT remote worker.

I technically live between FL and CA. I have a CA drivers license/registration/insurance, but have no lease under my name. Because of the sudden shift in employment I left my car w my bf in CA, but technically live w my parents in FL. However, I go back and forth a lot. My company is based in CA and I had given them my bf’s address, and I don’t have health insurance via my company (it’s a startup, and yes I’m trying to figure this out - currently in the process of leaving Medi-Cal and finding a new insurance, which my company agreed to pay back whatever I spend on doctors visits). I’m thinking of possibly changing my address to my FL w my company and getting some sort of “remote worker” insurance, but my billing addresses and anything else I can think of is still my FL address.

So my question is - can I just claim I live/work in Florida on my taxes? What should I consider? Does it make sense for my situation?

Again, if this is illegal please let me know. I’m only trying to take advantage of my unique living situation, not commit tax fraud.
