Thanks.  But I assume those amounts and the income associated with CA should be entered to the DC return as taxes paid in another state just like I add those figures for the other 10 states for which a consolidated return is filed by the law firm? (No estimated taxes for those 10 - tax is paid outright by the firm and deducted from me. Also no state returns by me.)  I shouldn't be paying taxes in DC for income that is taxed in CA just like the other 10, correct?

CA will tax the income also as a non-resident state.  Then you do the resident return last (DC), and you will get a credit for taxes paid to another state (on income that is being taxed twice (the CA income).

Thank you.  You seem knowledgeable so maybe you can answer my other question (posted earlier).  Should I be entering the taxes for the 10 states for which a the firm files consolidated returns on my Federal return?  The only place I can see to enter them is in estimated taxes paid.  If I enter them there I assume I should just put a figure in the fourth quarter for each state.

Let me post the answer with the other question you are already asked.

Thx
