We put everthing in storage from the CA home and went to our vacation home we own in Oregon. We would not have moved to our vacation home had the sale on house in CA fell thru. We are retired, did not buy a new house. Once we sold the house we were going to look for a primary house in OR while staying in the vacation house. The fact we loaded up the U-haul 2 days before and headed to our vacation home in OR shouldn't make us OR residents because if the sale fell thru we would have moved stuff back into the CA house and stayed. We had to wait for the funds from CA to start looking for a new primary in OR. Both CA and OR tax residents on all income received from anywhere while residents. That's why this is so critical. In this case, wouldn't the closing date be the date we relinquished CA residency?. Thank you for your help.
