Washington LLC being taxed on Non Resident California form

[spanglerc]

My husband and I have owned and operated an LLC in WA state for 8 years, the business operates in WA and only generates income from WA state.  We have been filing our federal state returns and WA doesn't state taxes to file, just business taxes for this LLC. In 2024, he inherited a mobile home park limited partnership that operates out of CA and generates income from rentals, so he received a K-1 for this limited partnership (passive income).  We realize that we need to do a CA Non Resident Tax return for this income. Unfortunately, when doing our taxes this year, I can't seem to figure out how to not have our WA business LLC income flow to the the non-resident CA tax return.  Because I can't figure this out, it looks like our business income comes from CA and it says that we have to register and pay an LLC fee in CA when we don't operate anything in CA nor generate income with this LLC in California.  What am I doing wrong????

I forgot to mention that we are both WA residents 100% of the year.

@spanglerc , 

as part of your California Non / Part-year resident form 540-NR filings you should have been filling out the Schedule-CA -- see here --2024 Schedule CA (540NR) California Adjustments - Nonresidents or Part-Year Residents

  This allows you to allocate  your federal income  between  "other state" and California.   Please make sure that you have  told  TurboTax that you are filing a Non / Part-year Resident  return.

Is there more I can do for you ?
