The California Corporation Code states that merely residing in the state does not mean you are required to register as a foreign (out of state) LLC and pay the $800. If your LLC is registered elsewhere, and your business is 100% internet only and doesn't have any employees, property, etc in the state, then you are probably fine. Obviously talking to a real lawyer about your specific case is a good idea.
Keep in mind though that you WILL still have to pay California income tax on whatever your share of the LLC's profits is.
