State tax filing

10 Years??   Those CALPERS retirement $$ are NOT CA-taxable.  Pensions/Retirment income is taxable ONLY by the state you are living in when you receive the $$.

 

Yu shouldn't be filing a CA non-resident tax return for those CALPERS $$ received.  IF CALPERS is withholding CA taxes, you need to call them and get that stopped by whatever means they require.....if they haven't been withholding CA taxes, then there is no need to file CA at all for those $$.

Of course, if you still own some property in CA that you rent to others there, have royalty payments from a CA property, or a spouse living there while you live in NM....then yeah, a CA nonresident tax return might be required...but otherwise...nope....the CALPERS retirement $$ are only taxable by NM.
