Hello! I moved to CA from NY but kept my job in NY and I work remotely (telecommute) from my home. It appears both CA and NY want to tax my wages, is that accurate?

I moved to CA from NY in 2016 and I kept my NY job.  They have no presence in CA, so I'm working remotely.  I went to file a NY part resident/non-resident based on the date of the move, but they want to tax me on all my income for the year because NY was a source.

For CA, they also want to tax all of my wages.

Is this correct, should I be paying full in both states or should there be a deduction or special form for a tax credit to one state?

You would file 3 returns:

  1. A part-year New York return covering income earned during the time as New York resident (including income from all states during this time period);
  2. A part-year California return covering income earned during the time as California resident (including income from all states during this time period);
  3. A nonresident New York return covering income earned during the time as California resident (including income earned from New York). 

You should prepare your returns in this order:

  1. Nonresident New York (always do any nonresident returns first, so you can get the non-resident state tax credit)
  2. Part-year California
  3. Part-year New York

Why June - September? I moved in April.  When I file as part-year NY they want me to include all of my wages since the source is NY.  Should I not file in CA?

Sorry, that June-September range was for another similar question and was accidentally added here. I have fixed it and the revised answer now addresses your specific situation. Hope this helps!
