Get your taxes done using TurboTax

CA wages and CA adjusted gross income do not have to match and frequently don't.

CA income tax is withheld all year and should be based on wages earned in CA. Stopping taxes while still calculating CA income is illogical.

 

The goal is to claim the correct CA income and pay the correct liability. You have paperwork of when you moved and the changes to your address, license, voting, etc to back you up. 

If CA asks, you are ready!
