I’m military, so I don’t pay taxes in CA. I wonder when they’ll discover that thousands of CA military don’t pay taxes? Of course, if they were to do that, then I would reconsider maintaining CA as my home state.
See my #47 below about my “California” USAF Texas brother & the Franchise Tax Board.
They already tried that a few decades ago. California also tried to dock a percentage out of military retirees checks depending how long they were stationed in the State.
Congress passed a law denying this practice.
Did they change the rules? When I was in the military, we tried to avoid being stationed in California because, if you eventually retired from the military, California considered whatever percentage of your retirement was earned while statined in California to be txable, no matter where you resided. IOW, spend 4 years in California and pay them income tax on 25% of your retirement forever, even if you settle in Florida.
