Hi guys! 2 questions if anyone knows:
1. Can I have my home address be in a different state while my home office is in a different state? My roommates and I are thinking of breaking our lease due to COVID-19 since we’re all quarantining out of state. I’m currently on OPT and my H1B will kick in in October. I am allowed to work from another state on OPT but I’m concerned on whether updating my home address to a different state will raise concerns.
2. Can this out of state address be my home...

Address temporarily past 10/1 while my H1B kicks in? My practice at EY will most likely be working remotely through year end so I was thinking of going back to my home state beginning next year to look for a new apartment when things are hopefully back to semi normal. Does anyone know what the chances are that my LCA gets denied because of home address being out of state?

I’ve asked EY immigration about this in a multitude of different ways and essentially keep getting a stock auto- reply of ‘file an LCA’ so if you find out a response can you let me know?

I know people on h1b who have done this but I don’t know what their official h1b filing says. I would drop an email to your immigration attorney who is handling your current h1b application to clarify if it needs an amendment

I have a feeling it might get very complicated because it might need a change of office location to be approved by your firm first and then an amendment.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
