State tax filing

@taglcg said "It is exempt from capital gains."

 

Assuming that is correct, you do not need to file a California tax return for 2022.  CA follows the federal rules for the exclusion of the capital gain from the sale of your primary (principal) residence.  If you exclude the gain on your federal return, you also so exclude from the state return.  You have no CA source income to report.

But, you also say "I sold my second home in California in August 2022."   To qualify for the capital gain exclusion (exempt from capital gains), the home must have been your principal residence for the required period of time. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc701
