@majorsevensharpeleven Your California filing requirement is $12,550 in gross income. Because you have some self-employment tax you might have a filing obligation anyway but as you point out your deductions reduce you below the filing thresh hold, I would skip the California return and only deal with it if they send you a letter.
That being said New York taxes all of your income - even that earned in California - so take the full $12,000 deduction.
