[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I travel Sunday night through Friday evening as do many of my coworkers. For the most part, we have apartments we return to, but there are some people who have this crazy lifestyle situation where they basically maintain suitcases and storage units around the country that they rotate between. Usually they are young people who are looking to make and save money. I pay 30k a year in rent to sleep in my own apartment approximately 6 nights a month, sometimes less. I get it! If I were in your position, it would entirely depend on how gracious of a guest he is and how much I like him. He sounds pretty low key, so if he can wash the bedsheets, keep the place tidy, and is a cool uncle to your kids (obviously good relationship with you and your spouse) I'd at least try it out. The setup sounds there  for this working out and the risk is low.

(He should also float you smething...not sure really about getting into split utilities if he isn't there more than 1-2 nights at a time, but should pay for some groceries, cook occasionally, bring toys for kids, help out as a member ofthe household when there. [/quote]

do you know what they do for taxes when they have no residence?[/quote]

I think you have to declare a permanent address, regardless. I believe they mostly use the address of their parents or a good friend for that. Whatever state their driver's license and voting registration is in/wherever the main storage container is in. Then we all track our hours and the locations we billed them in and pay taxes in any of the states in which we worked that year. Probably only over a certain number of hours/days? Not totally clear on that. I had 5 states last year including my primary residence of DC and no, I definitely don't do my own taxes![/quote]
