Reply to comment by SmarterTogether in Can I use a UPS mailbox for my employer? by SmarterTogether

It's fine as long as the employer is able to get the state and local tax withholding right. If not, you'll need to deal with getting the wrong local tax refunded and paying the right local tax.

> I just want to make sure I am not causing any issues using my UPS mailbox

There is just one caveat. UPS mailbox is considered a commercial address, so you can't do a USPS mail forwarding from it. If you ever stop renting the mailbox, you have to make sure to tell all senders instead of relying on mail forwarding.

Would there be any problems from the Airbnb being in a different city, but same state? My understanding with Washington state is it's much easier for my HR since they don't have state income taxes. So I'm hoping I can just keep the single/consistent ups mailing address until I land on my more permanent address. . Hm that's a good point on the mail forwarding, but I think I'll take the inconvenience of manually updating all the mail addresses on my part as opposed to tracking down all my pieces of mail going to multiple addresses ha
