Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi! I am a CPA with TurboTax Live. You would file a non-resident return for Hawaii for the time you worked there. You would get a credit for the taxes you paid to Hawaii in your home state (CA). Whether you file a resident return depends on if you intend to remain in the state indefinitely. Based on your responses, you would likely be a CA resident the entire year.
