State tax filing

Your situation is one of dual residency.  You are a domiciliary resident of CA and a statutory resident of MA.  Therefore each state may tax 100% of your income.

 

CA law allows CA residents to claim a credit on their CA tax return when they pay a net income tax to a state or U.S. possession on income that is also taxed by California, thus avoiding double taxation.

File CA Schedule S with your CA tax return in order to claim the credit.
