State tax filing

If you did not have a permanent home in CA or spend any time in CA, then you would not be considered as Domiciled in CA just because you have friends, a bank account, social ties, a drivers license and mailing address. 

If you are maintaining a home there that you plan to return to, and you that is your primary and permanent resident, then you would be considered a CA Resident. 

If your primary home is in Singapore, and you do not have a permanent home in CA and have not been in CA since 2023, you would not be considered a CA resident.
