No, you must file a California part-year resident return for 2025. 

 

You should use California Form 540NR (California Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return). This form allows you to separate the income you earned as a California resident from the income you earned after moving to Florida.  As a California resident for January 1 – April 30, you are taxed on all income you received from any source worldwide.  You will be able to allocate what income you had when you were a California resident.
