Thanks! When I start to fill out the California partial resident return, it asks me how much of my total adjusted income from my W-2s was earned while living or working in California. Based on the example I cited in my original post, would I enter
- the number in Box 1 on my W-2 OR
- the numbers in Box 16 on the two W-2s I received from my employer (one for CA and one for DC)? (I remained with the same employer the entire year)
Or are you saying that I should only report the amount earned while I was physically in California even though the example says otherwise? If this is the case, then do I manually calculate based on the number in Box 1 or use the number listed in Box 16 of my CA W-2?
On the DC partial resident return it asks me to enter any income received while residing outside DC. Would I figure out the percentage of physical time spent in California and multiply that by
- my gross income,
- the amount listed in Box 1, OR
- would I use the number in Box 16 on the CA W-2 that I received from my employer?
And to clarify, you are saying that I would leave the double-taxed income questions blank because it's not applicable to me?
