Florida S Corp doing Business in California

I am the owner and sole employee of a Florida LLC that is taxed as an S Corporation. The LLC receives payments via a 1099 for work performed in California. Subsequently, the LLC pays me a salary, which is reported as W-2 income for me and an expense for the LLC. The LLC pays taxes in California after deducting expenses, including my W-2 income as one of those expenses. Do I need to report my W-2 income on my personal taxes as income earned in California (and pay California taxes) or as income earned in Florida (which has no state income tax)?

Remote work is sourced in the state where you live, so you would not file a personal tax return for California.

Please clarify where you perform the work for which you are paid by the LLC. What is your state of residence?
