In CA, you remain a resident of CA as long as you are attending the state school with no stop outs, even if your parents move. It is interesting to consider for grad school, I think you can pick the new or the old state; but not both!! If you remain CA, you must actually have established residency there yourself as a student. You cannot use your parents address in their new state, you would file taxes, keep your CA DL, vote in CA, etc, actually BE a resident. OR you could choose the new state and change all that info over to the new location.
Your address on the tax return is a big part of it!
