I think I understand. But, let me make sure 🙂
We are filing jointly and she did have taxes taken out of her W2 from California. Also, this was the only income she earned that year. Nothing in Nevada.
However, this Sch CA(540NR) keeps mentioning "one-half self employment tax deduction computed for the ratio in form instructions". She was not self employed. That's the confusing part for me. And wouldn't the state be satisfied that on her W2 they had collected all associated taxes for her work in CA? I appreciate your help.
