Self Employed - CA Expat Safe Harbor Rule

Hi! 

 

Background:

- California resident & US citizen

- 1099 contractor & have a CA Single Member LLC

- Plan to relocate family and myself to Spain on the Digital Nomad Visa

- Still trying to decide what's better - keeping the CA LLC or closing it down

- Plan to pretty much pack up and go (make the move permanent). Will rent home we own out and sell the car.

 

Questions are:

1. Is there financial benefit for keeping the CA LLC, or would it be better to close it down?

2. Since I'm self employed and taking advantage of the digital nomad visa does that still count for the CA Safe Harbor Rule (546 days abroad, no more than 45 days visit in the state)?
