State tax filing

@jpscriv - just to be clear, you are a W-2 employee of this firm, right?  then there is no state income tax payab le to CA, but if you were earning that money as a contractor (1099-NEC) of a CA based firm, it is taxable......

 

at this point, since your employer is withholding, you will have to file a CA tax return in April for the sole purpose of getting back the money withheld. .
