State tax filing

Yes. Generally if you work in California, whether you're a resident or not, you have to pay income taxes on the wages you earn for those services. That's due to the “source rule”: California taxes all taxable income with a source in California regardless of the taxpayer's residency.

 

Make sure though you indicate that you are a California part-year resident for tax reporting purposes.  Turbo Tax also will make this determination for you based on what you record as your California resident dates.
