Texas client rents bees to California company, received a 1099 for amount. Does he have a state filing requirement?

He is in Texas and shipped the bees to California for a month then they are shipped back.

If he collected rents on a house in CA, or rented a piece of equipment to someone located in CA,  hed have a filing requirement, is that different than renting bees?

Since his bees flew out there, he did have a presence in CA.  I think CA taxes anybody that even thinks about their state.

theyll even track you down in another state when you stopped thinking about them!  LOL

Eddie, I don't know the answer to your question and it does matter since TX has no income tax so anything paid in CA will not be given credit for.  I think sale happened in TX so no CA tax. 

But what I am interested in is how does one TX beekeeper know if he got his bees back.  Could they not have been any bee returned?   Maybe CA bee substitutes or even illegal bees that got into CA thru border?

they might come back from California too liberal?
