I do not doubt that, once the Feds prove Hunter made money, California will have its hand out for their 13.3%.
But please do not give the California Taxation Agency the benefit of the doubt that they would attempt to prove money is owed prior to collecting. Their standard operating procedure is to assume you made money even if there is no evidence indicating that you did, and then steal the income tax that is allegedly owed out of your bank account. They actually have multiple tools for doing this.
For example, in my case, I bought my house before I was married. Once married, I became a SAHM. Since the mortgage was only in my name, the taxation agency refused to believe that my husband paid the mortgage and insisted that I made an income that was enough to cover the mortgage. My disputes against the fake income they assessed were "misfiled" by the tax agency and then there was a notice of levy put in place without a court hearing where I could prove that this income never existed.
Another tool they use is if someone has a business license, they assume that the person makes the average income of someone with that license and assesses a tax liability based on the average income, even if the person never made a dime doing whatever they had the license for.
They have a bunch more tools in their tool bag. This is just one example.
