This is odd. I am following all the steps in TTax, and declare that I was not, have never been a CA resident for all of 2020. TTax for CA still says that I owe taxes. I already paid some bc my CA based company and am hoping to get the $ back.
in the help section, it shows the case below and I followed the instructions -- but TTax still says that I owe taxes on the wages based on the few months that were paid through my CA employer
--- Help Section ---
How much of my wages did I earn in California?
Since you’re filing a nonresident return for California, you should only enter wages that you earned while working in California. Don’t include any wages that were earned in your resident state.
Example: Nolan lived in Oregon all year. He worked at a job in Oregon for 6 months, and he worked at a job in California for 6 months. He received a W-2 for his job in Oregon that shows he earned $40,000 in wages. Also, he received a W-2 for his job in California that shows he earned $60,000 in wages. Nolan should only report the $60,000 from his California W-2 on his California nonresident return.
