I am a current CA resident and moving to WA permanently this month. I'm planning to marry a CA resident in December 2021. My understanding is that since CA and WA are both community property states, half of my income after marriage will be taxed by CA. Can anyone clarify if the community income, 50% of which is taxed by CA, will only start accruing after the date of marriage in December? Or is it retroactively applied to the entire calendar year?
Thanks in advance.
