California income tax refund for period of non-resident status / WFH due to coronavirus
I work for one California's tech companies who have recently decided to allow their employees to work from anywhere until at least early 2021. However, said tech company is still collecting and sending my wages/salary to the state of CA although I no longer keep any properties/residence/connection/travel and won't have such thing for the rest of 2020.
To be clear on my situation above:
- was hired for onsite work in California and have been a CA resident for years.
- Coronavirus happened, moved out of state before California's 6 month residency rule (183 days)
- My car title/registration, drivers license/insurance, apartment rental were all cancelled and moved out to a state other than California before the 6 month rule.
- my employer continues to deduct and forward CA income taxes to California's Franchise Tax board although my nexus to the state of California for residency purposes no longer exists and the work (for purposes of tax year 2020) is no longer based or performed in the state of California for the remainder of the year.
My questions:
- I should be entitled to receive a refund of my income taxes upon filling them after January 1st 2021?
