Yes, you can claim a credit for taxes paid to another state while you are a part-year resident of California. This is only for the time you were living in California. You are not allowed to claim a credit on your California return while not a resident.
To do this, you would complete your New York part-year return. In your California return, in the Credits and Taxes section, select Revisit/Start next to Other State Tax Credit. Verify you were living in California, select New York from the pull-down menu and enter the income that was taxed by both states while you were living in California. You will then enter the total taxes paid to New York and New York's adjusted gross income to calculate the credit on your California return. You can get this information from the NY tax summary:
- Open or continue your return.
- Select Tax Tools in the left menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner).
- With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then view your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then NY Tax Summary in the left menu
- NY AGI is on the fifth line. The Tax paid is the sum of Total New York State, New York City Taxes and Yonkers City Taxes
