Thanks. It's too bad people decided to downvote me. Probably because of my username, but who knows. In any event, do you have thoughts on solutions?

Claim that your permanent residence to Washington state (or some other income-tax free state) if you go abroad. Actually, make it so by moving to WA first, and then going abroad. Also, not all states are like CA, some do support foreign tax credits at least.
