Which address for 2019 tax return
So here's my situation. I've been out of my apartment and full-timing for almost a year but my former apartment's "physical" address is still on my drivers license. I have a CMRA but I haven't changed my drivers license yet, mainly because most of the advice I've gotten was to keep the "link" to a real physical address until I purchased an RV (I've been full-timing the past year in a tent, which obviously is a whole other problem right now because all campgrounds are closed, and something I'll probably be posting about in another forum).
At this point my USPS mail forwarding is about to run out, which is something else to consider, maybe. I added the CMRA to all of my personal accounts as a mailing address, but my apartment address is still listed as my primary residence for most of my accounts. At least with the CMRA as my mailing address things shouldn't be mailed to my apartment address since someone else has been living there the past year.
Both my physical and CMRA addresses are in Florida, so I only have to deal with a federal tax return. But I can't decide which address to use for my tax return for 2019. Can anyone see a benefit of using one over the other? Ultimately I will permanently be at the CMRA on my DL etc, but I couldn't even do that right now if I wanted to with all the government offices closed. So as far as government entities are concerned I guess I'm still at my former apartment's address.
Also, my question isn't about the stimulus check, since I already know I'm going to have to file some change of address paperwork since the IRS is automatically going to use the address on my 2018 return (which is my former apartment's address).
I'd appreciate any advice on this from my fellow full-timers!
