Get your taxes done using TurboTax

One quick question - on that form it says "You do not have to make estimated tax payments if you are a
new resident of California in 2019 and did not have a California tax liability in 2018" Which would be the case with me. Does that mean I don't have to, but if you want to you can, or does that mean CA won't tax me on my earned 1099-MISC consulting income (which will exceed the thresholds)?
