Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As a nonresident, you pay tax on your taxable income from California sources.

Sourced income includes, but is not limited to:

  • Services performed in California
  • Rent from real property located in California
  • The sale or transfer of real California property
  • Income from a California business, trade or profession

If you physically worked within California, your W-2 income might be taxable.

Check the California Gross Income chart in the link below for your filing status, age, and number of dependents to determine if you have a filing requirement.
