That’s just wrong, and I don’t understand how it’s legal. I’m not sure the tax laws allow a state to tax you if the income wasn’t made in that state.
It was true in 1997-1998. I moved to Oregon in August, and when I went to do my taxes for that year I had to pay in California and Oregon as well as the Feds. California does a lot of things that should be illegal, but rarely get called on them, because like I said they have an outsized influence in Congress, including counting illegal aliens in the Census, which in turn determines Congressional seats allocated. They've never been audited.
Some rich guys sued later on over being taxed on gains made in other states, but I don't recall how that went, and it was after I was long gone.
