State tax filing

Possibly not!   

 

If you physically worked in California you will have to pay taxes to California for that portion of your income.  You will also have to file a return for your home state (If you have income tax).  You will get a credit for the taxes paid in CA on your home state tax return up to the amount the tax in your state would have been.

 

If you did not physically work in California you will not owe CA taxes.  However, if taxes were withheld for CA you will have to file a CA tax return to recover the taxes you had paid.
