CA Resident Working Remotely in Florida

[evilnachos123]

I moved from CA to FL on 5/12/2025 and changed my tax address at work to FL. However, I am keeping my permanent residence in CA, i.e. voter registration and driver license will stay as CA. My work location is based in CA, but work will be performed remotely in FL for the rest of 2025.

Is it appropriate for me to change my State W4 withholding allowance for California from ‘1’ to ‘0’? Does that ensure that my company is aware of my residency in Florida to avoid unnecessary California state tax withholdings?

Where is the source of your income?

@evilnachos123 if you are a W-2 employee and perform this work from Florida, you are not liable for CA state income taxes.  

If you are self-employed, the rules are different.
