Where can i get a work permit when im 14?

If i work on my uncle's ranch over the summer in California do i technically live there and if so can i get a permit btw Im 14 but i will turn 15 while im there and i will be staying with him?

• Answer:

  This is a bit of a grey area. If your parents (who I'm assuming live in another state) still have you filed as a dependent on their tax return, then you remain a resident of their state. However, how your uncle pays you makes a difference, as well. If you're being paid under the table, you won't have a basis for becoming a resident of California. If you're being paid as an employee, with taxes being taken out of your paycheck and being paid to the State of California, then you can be considered a California resident.
