What docs does FTB actually need for out-of-state residency proof? Help!

I went through this process last year. Here's what worked for me: • Driver's license or state ID from your new state • Utility bills (electricity, water, gas) with your name and new address • Lease agreement or mortgage statement • Bank statements showing transactions in the new state • Vehicle registration in the new state • Voter registration card The more of these you can provide, the stronger your case. They really want to see that you've established a life in the new state. Good luck!

ugh, the FTB is such a pain 🙄 I swear they make this process complicated on purpose

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at the FTB. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/XbqD8mexcoQ

Has anyone tried using a P.O. box in the new state instead of a physical address? Wondering if that would work...

PRO TIP: Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them. The FTB lost my documents twice and I had to resend. Such a headache 🤦‍♂️

Quick question - does anyone know if there's a time limit on how long after moving you need to prove residency? I moved 6 months ago but I'm just getting around to this now 😬

lol why is california so thirsty for our tax dollars? i moved to texas and they couldn't care less 🤠

Anyone else feel like they're guilty until proven innocent with the FTB? It's like they assume we're all trying to commit tax fraud or something 🙄

Heads up: if you're moving for a job, get a letter from your new employer stating your start date and that it's a permanent position. That helped me a ton!
