If you’re within the country and the office has flexible wfh rules, then it’s chill. Don’t try to fool the immigration team by traveling overseas and putting in the wrong/different tax codes, you’ll be caught

On student visa (I am you have a valid either CPT or OPT) you can work from anywhere in the US. With H1B you cannot. You have to file LCA for all the locations you will be performing work. There are exceptions if it’s for only few days.
