Post Body

I moved from CA to TX in the middle of June, but my employer maintained that this relocation was only temporary, and my permanent work location was still in CA. As such I continued to pay CA state tax all year.

Today I started filling out my tax refund for 2020 and was surprised to see that TurboTax gave me back all of my CA state tax. This can't be right, can it? My income is still being sourced in CA, and my desk is still in CA, even though I've relocated during COVID.

Is there a way to correct this on TurboTax, or should I consult an actual accountant to do my taxes this year?
