Hello,
We moved to California from Texas in 2021. There were multiple dates involved in this move. Here are some of them:
- The date of sale of my house in Texas
- My California flight date
- My wife's California flight date
- My household stuff arrival date in California by movers
- My car arrival date in California by movers
- My California automobile license and registration date
- The date of my previous tenant lease termination. Background: We converted a rental in California that we have had for several years to become our primary residence and did some upgrades while we lived with a family member in California while upgrades were being done.
- The date my wife and I moved in to this house after upgrades were completed.
Which one of these dates should be used as the start date for our California residency? How does TurboTax determine this date?
My 2nd question is: We have some capital gains from sale of 2 rental properties in Texas in 2021 just before we moved to California. Will any of this capital gains be taxable by California? We were a resident of Texas at the time we sold these properties.
Thank you!
