Taxes Questions and Answers

Where is my primary residence, for Income Tax purposes?

Last March, my wife and I moved out of our Texas apartment and she moved into her parent's home contained by the same Texas city. The same month (March) we moved adjectives of our personal belongings to storage and I flew to California and stayed with my grandmother. In April, we file a joint return beside her parent's Texas address. By mid-May it was transparent we could make the move and she begin her job hunting.
