Q. If I am paid a bonus in September 2021 for the work I completed July 2020 - June 2021, how are my state taxes calculated?
A. The entire amount of the bonus is taxable in CA, because it was received while you were a CA resident, despite the fact that the bonus may have been related to earlier work.
That said, somethings are still not clear:
"I am still a resident of Florida but I recently "relocated" to CA". What does that mean? Are you only temporarily living/working in CA with an intent to return to FL? Is there an end date to the temporary CA stay? Do you still have a FL home?
Are you a regular W-2 employee or a contract employee?
"I lived and had residence in Florida July 2020 - April 2021". I assume you were working from home, in FL, for the CA company, during that time. Is that correct?
