INC DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. We pay taxes based on your home address.
Your salary is taxed but not the full amount that a resident would. So if California does 10% state income tax and you make $100,000 a year, those $100,000 only get taxed 5% due to the 51% rule and the rest will be taxes by your state (so if your state has no income tax) your rate is just 5%. Still better than the full 10%. But yes, as our flying starts expanding outside of CA this will go away (if it hasn’t already)
