After you file

I guess you might be liable for some income for the days you actually were in California - depending on the circumstances - but absent that I don't see any "California-sourced" income here.

The FTB provides this guidance:

---------------------------------------------------------

Compensation

Wages and salaries have a source where the services are performed. The source of this income is not affected by either of the following:

  • The location of the employer where the payment is issued
  • Your location when you receive payment

Residents - Include all wages and salaries earned while a resident, regardless of where the services were performed.

Nonresidents - Include the income for services performed in California.
