Residential Address

[indraraj.r]

Hi,

I got recently moved to Virginia after filing my H1B Amendment. My question is related to the Home Search.

I found some good low cost Apartments in Maryland & Washington within 50 miles from Office and are also >250$ lesser when compared to similar Apartments in Virginia.

1) Will there be any issue if my LCA has "Virginia" Office Address and my Home Address shows "Maryland or Washington" (within 50 miles) if I move in one of these states to save some cost.

2) What are the implications if my Work and Residential Address from different States while filing for my TAX?

Please provide some insights on this.

Thanks.

You mean to say Viriginia is where your client/employer located and it is your work location and Maryland & Washington  is where you want to live. This is your residence?

1. I feel yes since 50 miles travel one side is normal in USA.

2. Tax consultant can advice.

1. No issues. You can live anywhere, but you need to work in the location mentioned in your LCA.

2. You might have to file taxes for both the states. Its just extra paperwork.
