What if I move to California in december? Will I be not eligible for refund for the whole year or should I pay cali state taxes only for the days I am in California (which is only december).

These answers asume you are a W-2 employee and not a free lancer/contractor.

Q. Am I eligible to get the refund if I didnt go to California till now.

A. Yes. Your employer should not have been withholding CA tax, since you did not physically work there.

Q. What if I move to California in december?

A. You will pay CA tax only on the pay received while you were physically in CA. You will file a part year resident return.

Thanks and yes, I’m on H1b visa and working fulltime for a Bay Area company. Planning to move in either Dec or Jan and hence trying to know the tax consequences.
