Interesting. I have visited my employer in CA for short periods, is
the tax somehow prorated as a fraction of the year? Which other facts
are used to determine this?
In response to the question from an earlier post, I don't think my
employer withheld anything for SDI or FUTA.
Thanks for the responses.
