I recently moved to Washington state and I have been staying with my brother and I used his address for the time being. 

I am going to be staying short term in an Airbnb and the owner is not comfortable with me using their address. To make matter worse my brother doesn't seem thrilled to be getting my mail mixed with his.

Anyway, I was thinking of just using a UPS address and making that my permanent address, however this would update the address my employer has for payroll (and how the taxes are impacted).

Since the addresses are all in the same state does anyone know if this will cause a problem? My goal is to just have my own consistent address while I lock down a permanent rental or buy a house.
Given your situation, using a UPS mailbox as a permanent address can indeed provide a stable mailing address without impacting your brother's mail or needing to rely on your Airbnb host. However, it's important to understand a few things:

1. Taxes: Since all the addresses are in the same state, your state income tax should not be impacted. Washington State does not have a state income tax, so that is also not a concern. However, your employer may still need your physical residential address for reasons separate from taxation, such as employment records, contact information, and in case of emergencies.

2. Permanent Address: While you can use the UPS address for most mail and packages, some institutions (like banks, government agencies, etc.) may require a physical residential address and not a mailbox service. This is due to the USA PATRIOT Act, which requires a physical address to help prevent fraud and illegal activities.

3. Future Moves: If you move to a different state in the future, having a UPS address as your permanent address might create complications since your official state of residence for tax purposes should match your physical location.

In summary, it's a good temporary solution, but you'll likely need to provide your actual residential address to your employer and other institutions. You should consult with your HR department to understand their requirements, and also consider seeking advice from a tax professional to understand any potential tax implications.
