Moving Avoids California Tax? Not So Fast
So to escape the evil tax board after moving out of California you have to...do normal stuff that you are legally required or otherwise expected to do as a resident of a new state&#x2F;city — like switching your drivers license, registering your cars, registering to vote, making your address change official, not spending &gt;9 months of the year &quot;visiting&quot; California.<p>Yes some well-intentioned people unfortunately get caught in this mess at times, but a far greater number are those who worked for a SV startup for years and conveniently moved to a no-tax state a month before IPO when all their stock became &quot;real&quot;.
