WOW 🚨 California is tracking down former residents and making sure they actually left to try and collect taxes
California is demanding full details on their move down to the vehicle used and moving invoices
“How you know the state of California is hurting. This is the letter they just sent me — Please provide a brief narrative of events and circumstances surrounding you becoming a non-resident of California with your response. Provide the specific move out dates as it was not reported.
7 years ago, California 540 non-resident return for each shipment of households, personal vehicle, Etc. Items from California to Texas during the period. They want to know how we got everything from California to Texas. They want to see complete moving invoices. Any proof that we have of when we left and why we left.
Because they want to tax me. Good luck”

You can check out but you can never leave.
I’d Frame Mine!
Instead of a rail line, perhaps they should have invested in a wall.
During the days of the runaway slaves there were bounties on them from the owners. “Underground Railroad” routes in places like Michigan were set up with secret locations and sympathetic anti-slavery people. There’s a historical plaque not far from me now for one location from those days.
Newsom and California Dems want the runaways in 2026 to be tracked down.
as close to a communist dicatorship as they can get away with
They want to mail them a ballot.
Punishing upstanding citizens and rewarding criminals.
🤣🤣🤣 and Trump is a dictator!!
What happens if you say, “Come and take it?”
My response? "Fine, tell me where I vote." (This was before the mail-in ballot mania.)
Their reply? Refund checks for the withheld amounts.
QED
Do they want photographic proof of you shaking the California dust from your sandals on the way out?
I’ve moved from one state to another a few times, and never officially reported that to any government officials of either the state I moved from or moved to.
If you are supposed to report this I guess I’m a criminal....
I am aware that this happens with many states especially when the prior resident continues to own property in the state.
Some stares require move dates on the tax return for the year of move.
to stop paying taxes yes.
especially if you are a snowbird
Wouldn’t you have to pay taxes to the state you moved from for the period you were there?
If the state is ‘notified’ it seems it would be through the tax return...
Nope. I just move, change my address with whatever businesses I have dealings and register my vehicle and change my driver’s license. If they cant figure it out from there it’s on them.
Gosh. I’m trying to remember the last time I had a layover in SFO or LAX. At the rate it’s sliding into bedlam, Cali will probably try to tax my total income prorated for the length of my stay. With an added environmental impact fee for breathing Cali air.
I’m pretty sure they won’t be able to nail me for flushing the toilet in the restrooms, because I don’t think the surveillance systems were up to capturing that yet. I’ll just tell them that I held it until we got off the ground and were out of Cali airspace.
