Minnesota resident working in California for most of the year, employer withheld and reported to CA until just recently

I'm in a bit of a weird tax situation, at the beginning of the year until just recently, I (from a tax point of view) did the following:

 

* Every weekday I would (virtually) fly from Minnesota to my office in California where I worked (not a real flight, but from my company's tax records this is how it was being withheld/reported)

* At the end of each day I'd (virtually) fly back to my home in MN.

* I'm a resident of MN and still owe MN taxes for the time I was working in CA as MN taxes out-of-state income, subjecting me to double-taxation for this period.

 

I owed taxes to both CA and MN during this time, as CA viewed me as physically working there (and taxes were withheld to CA), but I was underwithheld for Minnesota as my company wasn't withholding there (so will likely owe a significant penalty to MN)

 

Now, they corrected my withholding, so from a tax standpoint I:

* Stopped working in CA

* Am now working and living in MN

* Am a resident of MN

* Do I still owe taxes to CA for this period through the end of the tax year? Or do I only owe taxes to MN now?

 

To further complicate things, my company has RSUs (restricted stock units) which are taxable at vesting time in the state of CA.
