    You will file as a part-year resident tax return with CA (Form 540-NR including Schedule CA), reporting your income earned while a resident of CA. Actually they make you report all income for the year, but only the portion earned while a resident is actually subject to tax.

    But it is taxed at a MUCH higher tax rate by California due to the overall income level.
