Question

CA tax on graduate student abroad

In 2024, full time graduate student in the UK. Summer job in Seattle. Parents address in CA. They do not claim as a dependent. Do I have to pay CA income taxes?

Employee

Yes. Being a student is only a temporary absence from your previous home until you establish a new permanent residence somewhere else. Still being a dependent makes that position stronger, but being a dependent is not a necessity.
