Report: California exodus continues

from #LegalBytes: The Official Podcast of Cummings & Cummings Law · host Cummings & Cummings Law

In this presentation, attorney and CPA Chad D. Cummings examines California’s continuing population crisis. According to The Malibu Times and U-Haul data, California recorded a net loss of 216,000 residents in 2025—marking the sixth consecutive year of record outbound migration. High taxes, skyrocketing housing costs, insurance premiums, and quality-of-life challenges are driving tens of thousands of individuals and families out of the state each year, with Arizona, Nevada, and Texas as top destinations. Chad explains why simply moving yourself is no longer enough: if your LLC, corporation, or partnership remains domiciled in California, you continue paying California taxes and complying with its regulations. He demonstrates why redomestication is the smartest, cleanest, and most tax-efficient solution—allowing you to move your existing business entity to a lower-tax state like Florida or Texas without dissolving the company, without forming a new entity, without losing your FEIN, and without triggering federal taxes. If you own a business in California and are considering a move, this presentation gives you the critical data and the practical legal path forward.
