Work and Live in WA, but tax for CA

[StormieS]

Hello,

I live in Washington and I work in Washington. I don’t remotely work but physically work in Washington. However, I am being taxed for California and Washington. Is it correct for California tax?

Do you have any connection with the State of California?

I don’t, my company’s headquarters is in Kentucky.

Why are you being taxed in California? Have you received a notice or other correspondence?

Where is California showing up?  Is Turbo Tax saying you need to file a Calif return?  Or did CA send you a tax bill?  Did you ever live or work in CA?

What exactly does "being taxed for California" mean? Do you mean that California tax is being withheld from your pay?

And what do you mean by "taxed for California and Washington"? Washington does not have any personal income tax. You could not have Washington income tax being withheld from your pay, because there is no Washington income tax. Are you talking about the deduction for the Washington Workmen's Compensation Fund?

Do you sometimes travel to California for work?
