State tax filing

The 540NR is for nonresidents or part-year residents,  You want to be sure to file as a part-year resident- you will be able to indicate the dates of residency.  Part-Year residents pay tax on income earned while a resident or any California income received while a nonresident.  Note:  California prepares the part-year resident return as if you were a full-year resident, then applies the CA tax to the part pf the year you were a resident.
