Thank you Tom,
So based on what you've replied so far. If I plan to move to CA during mid-December, I should do the following for my tax return:
1. File resident tax for TN
-Report all TN withholding (since there's no income tax, there should be no withholding for TN state)
-"Income" will be for full-year (probably doesn't matter too much here)?
2. File part-year resident tax for CA
-Report all CA withholding
-"Income" will only be the California source income (income earned after moving to CA)
This way, I should be able to get the excess CA withholding back if the HR withheld anything before I move to CA.
Does it sound correct?
Thanks,
Lisa
