I’m a resident of Oregon. I forgot to change my pension tax withholding when I moved in 2017. How do I claim 2018 tax accidentally made to CA?

We moved to Oregon in 2017.  I am an Air Force retiree.  I forgot to change my pension for state withholding from California to Oregon.  How do I claim 2018 taxes paid to California since I did not earn income there?

You need to file a California Non-Resident Tax Return to receive a refund for the taxes you do not owe. 

You will enter the information on your Federal interview and the information will import to your CA state return.

You will need to prepare your CA Non-Resident Tax Return  before your Oregon Resident Tax Return to insure proper credits.
