@jackkgan you can only be domiciled in one state at a time.
So, that is NY until June and IL beginning in July.
You are a non-resident of CA but required to file a tax return since you have sourced income in CA.
Can you post more detail about what this tax is all about? From googling this appears to be WITHOLDING to ensure that non-residents pay the tax due. if you have no 2025 income in CA (i.e. no rents in 2025), there can't be any tax, so you'll be able to get a refund of the 7% by filing a 2025 CA income tax form.
this is what Google AI states:
- State Income Tax Withholding: California law requires withholding a 7% state income tax on certain non-wage payments of California-source income made to nonresidents if the payments exceed $1,500 in a calendar year.
