I've been to the FTB site and found some conflicting information. I believe that I will need to file just to show my income is exempt. Now my problem is I had already filed out my fed and resident state forms and it appears I will need to file a 540NR first but as I had already downloaded my resident state that is not being offered. It appears I have to delete my resident state return to access the CA 540 NR as the included state and then order and pay for my resident forms. I had intended to pay for the additional state so that is not the issue. Having to fill out the non-resident forms first seems to be the problem.
