So I'm starting a new job as of today based out of Seattle, Washington (i.e. no state taxes). However I am living in my family home outside of Los Angeles, CA. My question is do I have to pay taxes to California? The state taxes on my income are not negligible and are significant if they have to paid in CA. My employer is in multiple states and adjust incomes based on the state so I am in effect getting paid significantly less in California that I would be in Washington, however I do not want to move as I have no one in Washington.
As for my last job, I was abroad for a year with my permanent residence listed in California. However I was planning to move to Washington when my job started but changed plans due to covid and everyone being work from home (they are not allowing anyone to come back to the office).
Is there anyway I can avoid paying CA state tax?
