State tax filing

Yes, you need to adjust California since you were moving OUT of California.

 

See 2019 California 540NR Instructions page  49 which states:

 

California law and federal law are no longer the same for moving expenses. If you moved:

• Into California in connection with your new job, enter the amount from line 13, column D, in line 13, column E.

• Out of California in connection with your new job, enter -0- on line 13, column E.

If you moved out of California in connection with your new job and received compensation from that job attributable to a California source, your moving expense adjustment will be limited by the ratio of California source compensation from the new job to total compensation from the new job.
