Form 540NR is a nonresident California state return.
You might check your W-2s or any other information returns (e.g., 1099s) to see if they have entries in the state section indicating California-sourced income or withholding.
If there is no California-sourced income or withholding, no deductions or credits or additional taxes, then you could just choose not to e-file the return when you are in the File section.
As a nonresident, you pay tax on your taxable income from California sources. See this California webpage for more information.
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
