Hi Jotika,
Thanks a lot for answering the question! This all look very reasonable! I have one concern though, could you help me check whether my concern is valid?
On the California FTB website, it says:
You’re a resident if either apply:
- Present in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose
- Domiciled in California, but outside California for a temporary or transitory purpose
I assume that in the last 4 months of 2019 and the first 2.5 months of 2020, I am a CA resident since I was in CA for other than a temporary or transitory purpose. Would the second condition put me in the CA resident category, since the employer would require me to go back to CA after COVID is over? (Or to be specific, in my timeline, starting from when should I be considered "not domiciled in California"? Is it in March when I left CA, or May when I terminated my lease, or at another point in time?)
