I live in California but work at home from another state. Do I still need to file California taxes?

Yes, if you are a remote worker and your state of residence is CA, you only need to file a CA resident state income tax return.

Remotely done work is sourced where the work in performed (not where the company is located, in most situations). Therefore your remote work from CA will be sourced to CA.
