State tax filing

If you received a W2 with California withholding, you can file a nonresident California tax return and report zero California wages and you will get that withholding refunded.  There is no need to contact the IRS- they will not intervene on the state withholding.  Simply file the nonresident California return and make sure your employer knows you live and work in Utah only.
