I'm filling out a California non resident return because I had W2 income associated with working in California. I hope they're getting their tax $$$ from pro athletes and rock stars. I had four jobs last year, not in California, that are classified as Sch C income. The SE tax, SE Health insurance, and I401K are all associated with the SE income. Guess that means don't include it in California return?
Second part of my question - posted separately - do I have to file a non resident state return if W2s reflect income and taxes withheld for a state? I'm spending $45 per state return - in California's case - to only get $30 back. Economically not worth it. Do I still have a legal obligation to file in those non resident states? Thanks.
