I work from home and am employed by a healthcare company who is national. However, I am connected with the California Service Center which is a separate entity due to CA laws. I am moving to Nevada next year and plan to continue working under my Calif license remotely from the Calif Service Center. So, would I still be under the Calif. Labor Laws re PTO carryover and what about State Taxes? I intend to have my paycheck deposited into my Nevada bank. I know that Nevada has no State income tax. Any insight would be helpful.

You'll pay state income tax if you work in Cali. Doesn't matter if you live here.

You pay taxes based on where you physically perform the work. If you are working from your house in NV then NV taxes apply. Unfortunately, the NV labor laws probably apply as well. I work remotely on projects all over the US and my work from home is taxed as NV income. If I fly to the client's location for the week I pay state taxes based on their location.

Consult a tax professional, not a internet forum full of people that you have no idea who they are or what their motivation might be to give you one piece of tax advice over another.

Be very careful. Hooker number one is you have to cease being a CA resident. And doing that can be harder than it looks. For instance if you own property in CA the FTB will decide you intend to return one day and therefore are still a CA resident.

If you are a CA resident CA can tax all your income everywhere. They then give you credit for what you paid in taxes to other states. This is of course nothing in the state of Nevada.

Also you need to avoid any withholding of CA income. That will also trigger the FTB and will require you to file a CA tax return to gain it back. Note that if you attend meetings in CA the income for that period is taxable in CA.

The best strategy is too disappear completely from the CA scene.

This really is a place where the input of a tax expert is needed. A CPA would be ideal.

Definitely consult a tax pro and then see if you can get your employer to pay you on a 1099 basis. If you just get paid on payroll for them you will pay CA income tax no matter where you live.

Contact a licensed CPA before you do anything, it will save some potential financial headaches down the road.

I think this FTB pub 1031 will help. Gl

Regardless of where you establish domicile, if you're an employee of a CA company, and are paid out of CA, you're likely going to have to pay CA taxes.

I hold a certain license in the state of California and every year just like clock-work, California always remembers me and sends me tax notifications that I have to respond to.
