California resident, OCI Card, living in India

Hello!
I haven't found anyone with a similar situation as mines.


I am a California resident, with a home address and Driver's license of State of California. I was born in US (1992), and am a US Citizen with an SSN and everything. I do have interest income, so I file taxes in California itself.

 

Apart from this I also have an OCI card (Overseas Citizenship of India). I have been staying in India with that since atleast 2010. I do not have a job, but I am doing charity work with a dog shelter in my area.

 

I do visit California once or twice a year, with my last visit being in March 2020. I'm well educated with a Masters Degree, and have taught English to college students in the past. I now want to start a remote job for any Company in California (data entry or any beginners job would do), but I'm having a hard time figuring out where and how I am allowed to apply and what would be the tax implications.

 

I plan to stay in India for now, but have no problem visiting California once in a while.
So my questions are,


Can I work a remote job for anyone in California, while remaining to live in India? What would be the tax implications?

Since I have not physically been present in California since 2020, Can I apply to remote jobs outside of California- as in for other States of USA?

Any additional information related to the same would be highly appreciated.
