Hi Bees, thanks for your comment, though I'm confused as to what you're saying. Which link are you talking about? The link to this thread conversation?
In case it helps for you to know, this thread page is currently the *top* number one Google hit if you search for "California tax on sale of principal residence" -- so it's quite an important page and very visible for anyone who is trying to figure out whether they will need to pay state taxes on the sale of their California home. I'm guessing it gets a lot of internet traffic as a result and people are taking the answers to heart. CalConnect's answer seems actually very accurate and well argued as well as still relevant today.
