State tax filing

No. You do not have to pay California income tax on your self-employment income if you did not work or conduct business in California.

 

The company sent you a 1099-NEC because your income is taxable on your federal return.

 

California sourced income includes, but is not limited to:

  • Services performed in California
  • Rent from real property located in California
  • The sale or transfer of real California property
  • Income from a California business, trade or profession (your business was in MA)
