I am fully remote and have worked for this company for over 5 years as a W-2 employee. I got permission to move to Utah in January 2025 to continue as a fully remote employee. When it comes time to file my taxes for 2025 (in 2026), will I file California state income tax or Utah or both? There are still CA withholdings on my income. Do I file both and file a credit for income tax paid in another state form in Utah? My HR department won't remove the CA withholdings. The only other option they have given me is to become an independent contractor and that is confusing and worries me.
