This is simply false. I’ve lived in California, been hired for a California company, allowed to work from home, and moved out of state.

The moment I left California the state I paid income tax to changed.

Think of it this way: all of the government services I use are in the state I reside in. I use literally $0 in California services. Not police, not fire department, not roads: nada.

California had a reputation for being very strict about whether you are a “resident.” But it’s not infinite.

Once you’re gone, they can’t tax you.

There are some exceptions for people who live near in a neighboring state, but work physically in California.
