Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you enter in TurboTax that you lived in Washington the entire year and then open up the California state return, you will want to be sure it says that it is a Non-Resident Return.  This will file on Form 540NR.  I have examples of the screens below but of course you will enter them with the answers that are correct for your situation. 

After you answer these questions it is entirely likely that the California Franchise Board will have the information it needs for the refund of your erroneous withholding in 2022.  If they do have a question, they will respond in writing and specifically ask for exactly what documentation they need. People move in and out of California and they are accustomed to dealing with their tax forms. This is a straightforward case because you were in Washington the entire year. Sometimes people move in the middle of the year and the income has to be allocated between states.
