LLC Questions (California/Michigan)

[Cory Evans]

Hello,

I currently live and work in San Francisco, I am looking at developing property in Michigan and wanted to create an LLC based in that state (I have 1 minority owner who will be doing the day to day work in Michigan). My CPA does not think there is anyway for me to get out of paying California taxes given that I will be in doing business in California even though all of the work will be in Michigan. 

Please Help!! Are their any work around to this issue? Do I need a new CPA? 

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks
