Not sure, but worth checking on this, I thought the tax on RSUs can follow you out of California if they were vested there.


Keep in mind loosness of terminology...

RSUs are taxable on vesting, and California wants its piece of that, if any of the vesting happened while you were a resident or working in California. But after they vest, they're just stock, and when you sell stock, California considers the capital gains to be sourced to your state of domicile.

If the OP was being loose with terminology, and the 'RSUs' to sell already vested, there's no California tax due on sale if they've moved out of state before the sale.


They can and will. California will go after you for them. Happened to a friend who had documented 7 months in another state.


Yeah, didn't think it was that easy.
