California Adjusted Gross Income as a CA nonresident - 540NR

Hi everyone,

 

I took a look into the tax summary section and it looks like for the California Adjusted Gross Income, it uses my entire federal gross income. However, I was a California nonresident all of last year (not part-time, but completely nonresident).

 

I do have California taxable income from RSUs that between the time they were granted and vested, had spent time in California and this is correctly reflected in the tax summary. Taking a look at the 540NR CA worksheet - https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2021/2021-540nr.pdfhttps://www.taxformfinder.org/forms/2021/2021-california-form-540-nr-schedule-ca.pdf, it looks like the California Adjusted Gross Income should only be based on "CA amounts - income earned or received as a CA resident and income earned or received from CA sources as a nonresident". Filing as a married couple, not only does it seem to include all my income as California Adjusted Gross Income, it also is including my wife's gross income.

 

Is there any way to fix this California Adjusted Gross Income? Going at https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator and plugging in my California taxable income, I should be taxed way less than what Turbotax is reflecting.
