However . . . When you say you will be "working remotely out of California" do you mean that you will be physically in California, working remotely for the New York company or some other remote employer? If that's what you mean, any income that you earn for work that you do in California is California source income. You do have to pay California tax on any income that you earn for work that you do in California, no matter where the employer is located or where your permanent residence is, and no matter how long or short a time you spend in California.
