Tax Credit for Improper California State Income Tax as Washington Resident

I moved from California to Washington state on Dec 31st, 2022. My company improperly taxed me throughout 2023 as if I was a California resident even though my permanent residence was in Washington all of 2023. Washington does not have a state income tax process, so how do I recoup that money from the incorrect California taxes? Thanks a bunch!

    You will have to file a 2023 nonresident California state income tax return.  Enter 0 for your California income and the amount of CA taxes withheld on the W-2.  You should receive a refund for all of the taxes withheld.
