> but not all states (like Cali) honor that and may still charge you state income tax

Whoa, so before moving to a low tax country you should move to a state that is not insane for a while and then move abroad? Crazy.

Yes, but from reading it sounds like California is a bit of a poison pill and will go at length to try and say you still live there. I've read of cases where even living in another state for 6+ months, drivers license moved over, no property in California, wasn't enough.

Not sure how they get away with it really, small volume I guess.

Yes, this is a real thing. There are a few States like South Dakota that have kind of made a business of helping expats launder their State citizenship.
