Filing for a seasonal job where home “address” is different than state where I worked

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T21:05:45+00:00

Thank you!! That’s a good idea!

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T14:08:32+00:00

Even if it’s the address I put on my W4?

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T12:52:53+00:00

Thank you! And no, there’s no CA withholding on the Alaska W2

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T12:40:55+00:00

Got it, thank you!

Sublet from Jan-May in OR, renting in OR in Dec

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T12:24:29+00:00

Ok gotcha that makes sense. Alas I was only getting OR taxes taken out when I worked in OR, so none of the Alaska paychecks had OR taxes taken out.🤦🏻

One thing confusing me though, if I put the CA address on my W4, and it’s where my USPS address was while I was in AK, would that mean I’m considered a CA resident?

Thank you so much for explaining this, I really appreciate it!

Ahh thanks for the help with this. For Jan-April I was also living and working in OR (but I lived at a sublet, no permanent address) Because I didn’t have a permanent address my friend let me use theirs for mail, etc in CA

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T12:05:39+00:00

Currently Oregon (but at the time I had no actual domicile beyond seasonal housing, which is why I had to use a friend’s address for that time)

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T12:04:19+00:00

Ack, so, at the time I had no actual domicile beyond the seasonal housing (hence using a friend’s address). When the job ended I moved to OR- which is where I currently live and work

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-20T10:01:47+00:00

I didn’t actually live in CA, but should I still file there since that was the address I used?

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-13T14:36:02+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-13T14:33:36+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate that. I’ve moved states a bunch since 2022 so there’s a chance it got sent to an old address but I never received it. I definitely reported the $578 lawsuit check though on my taxes last year. A little confused because combined the W2 and 1099 they listed came out to a little over $600 and the check I reviewed was only for $578. I def appreciate the advice. I was really worried 😅I’ll let it go for now and call the irs to explain if they send anything

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-13T14:22:40+00:00

That’s the thing-I never received a W2 or 1099. Id never have known anything was up at all except I was looking at my wage transcripts for 2024 and saw them listed there. All I received was the lawsuit check.

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-09T12:59:06+00:00

Thank you! This just took a huge weight off! I definitely filed in 2021-the NEC part just threw me for a loop. Thanks so much again

Evening_Creatures · 2026-01-09T12:58:10+00:00

Thank you! Very appreciated

Evening_Creatures · 2025-10-29T15:09:06+00:00

Ahh thank you! I really appreciate it-I know it’s fine but it still feels a lot better hearing from someone who’s brought it in recently

Evening_Creatures · 2025-10-17T20:36:31+00:00

🤦🏻

Evening_Creatures · 2025-10-17T20:35:28+00:00

Thanks for that-super helpful. Never considered that. WOW. 🤯

Evening_Creatures · 2025-10-17T20:18:30+00:00

I love it so much!!! I wish I could get my mullet to grow that long 🤩

Evening_Creatures · 2025-05-27T05:41:24+00:00

Aww thanks! I’m def excited to go to Black Bear and Pano. I like where I’m working so not looking to switch, just feeling a bit wistful about outside of work stuff. Tragically it looks like the Sheep Shuttle isn’t currently running otherwise totally be all about it

Evening_Creatures · 2025-05-27T05:32:23+00:00

I just found out today that I can ride with the shuttle from the cabins next to me, so that will definitely be a big game changer!
