The FTB publication linked in that article states:
“Wages and Salaries
Wages and salaries have a source where the services are performed. Neither the location of the employer, where the payment is issued, nor your location when you receive payment affect the source of this income. Part-year residents include on Schedule CA (540NR), column E or Short Form 540NR, line 32 all wages and salaries earned while a resident, regardless of where the services were performed. Nonresidents include the income for services performed in California.”
Without more clarification that would seem to suggest remote work would not be taxable since the services are not performed in CA.
- ghaff 5y agoIf I'm working on a computer in a state, and the location of the employer is irrelevant, it would be hard for me to argue that I'm not performing services in that state--even if my full-time residence is elsewhere. Where else would I be performing them? But IANAL.
- BeeOnRope 5y agoYou would be performing them where you (your body) is located at that moment.
- eikenberry 5y agoWhere you are. You are not working on a computer in state, you are working on a computer on your desk that is talking to a computer in that state. Not much different from phones really, do support people technically work in multiple states because they use devices (phones) in those states remotely?
- ghaff 5y agoI think we're agreeing. What matters is where your body is--not where a computer you're connecting to is located or where your employer's HQ or other office is. Or where the person you're providing support to lives.
