State tax filing

@tmsweatt --

If you’re a W-2 employee, once you establish your new domicile in Hawaii, your remote work income done from a Hawaii location is taxable only by Hawaii.  It is no longer taxable by California.

You establish your domicile in Hawaii when you begin living in your new main, primary home there (temporary lodgings such as a hotel don’t count).

if you move after January 1st, for 2022 you would file a part-year resident return for each of the two states, assuming your CA income exceeds the filing threshold.

Once you establish your HI domicile, CA can only tax income you earn from work actually (physically) performed in CA.
