My son has gotten a job in Shanghai. He will be using our
address in California for his correspondence. Does he need
to file CA state? He probably would not have any federal
taxes.

Does he live with you now (prior to moving to Shanghai)?
If so, he remains a CA resident for CA tax purposes. If he
lives in another state prior to moving, getting mail sent to
CA won't give him residence there.

Unless your son went to China before the end of December, he
must claim the foreign earned income exclusion using the
physical presence rule. (You must be a bona fide resident
for a full tax year before you can use that rule.) So, his
exclusion will be something less than the maximum of
$82,400. In any case, he must file a Federal return to take
the exclusion.
As to California, the need to file a tax return depends upon
his residency status. If he does not intend to return to
California and his actions support this, he probably does
not have to file. Katie in San Diego is the resident expert
on state residency here on MTM.

While overseas he is considered a resident of whichever
state he lived in prior to going overseas. If that state
has a state income tax, he may need to file - check the
rules for that state.
This is why so many people try to establish Texas residency
prior to going on an overseas work assignment or deployment.

Please log in for more thread options Has he permanently moved out of California and into
Shanghai, with no present intent to return? If not, then
he's probably still considered to be "domiciled" in
California and therefore subject to California taxes
(assuming, of course, that he was resident in California
prior to the move. If he was resident in another state,
then the same analysis applies to that other state).
