I thought Cali has pretty strict Telecommuter rules... <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="

Note, this entire analysis assumes the nonresident is an employee of a California firm. If the nonresident is an independent contractor, different rules applies. Specifically, even if the independent contractor never set foot in California, if he is performing services for a California customer, he is likely “doing business in California,” which falls under a totally different set of stringent, complex rules, and which usually result in a tax liability of some sort. This problem also applies to out-of-state entities that perform services to California customers. See “Internet-Based Companies and ‘Doing Business’ in California: Be Careful What Your Website Says About You,” for an overview of those rules.
