I run an Ebay business and have one employee in California. It is a sole proprietorship and I file a schedule C. I plan to move to Texas but will continue to have an employee in California that will handle the inventory and will ship the items from there.

I will be living and working in Texas handling other functions of the business online. Since the employee will still be in California I will still be paying payroll taxes to California.

Will I have to file and pay California income taxes since my employee is shipping inventory from there even though I will be working from Texas?

Per the 2019 Bindley decision, a non-resident sole proprietor would owe California income tax only if they provided services to clients located within California.
