I've been working internationally for the past few years and visit my parents in California twice a year for less than 30 days total within a calendar year. I still have my mailing address at my parents' residence and use it for my bank, brokerage, auto insurance accounts, and California driver's license. I have proof of residency internationally, including a condo lease, utilities, and bank statements. How can I avoid paying California income taxes without changing all my accounts with a California mailing address?
