If you were a full-year resident of CA for 2024, then that is correct. CA gets to calculate a tax on ALL your income.
Now, how it ends up getting fully taxed or not depends on what the other state was that you worked in.
If you worked cross-border in OR or AZ, it's handled differently than if you worked cross-border in NV.
But if you worked temporarily in some other state with an income tax during the year, then you can get a credit for the taxes you paid to that "other" state. CA still calculates a tax on all the income, but then allows you a credit for taxes paid to that other state (But not for AZ or OR). You have to prepare the non-resident tax return for that "Other" state first in order to claim that credit.
