Thanks I guess I'll enter what my 1099R box 2a states in Schedule CA (540NR) Part II, line 5e. Since Federal taxes the taxable amount of my retirement withdrawal and California does not since I'm a nonresident per instructions below not living in California stationed elsewhere but joining out of California.
Stationed outside of California
An individual domiciled in California when entering the military is considered a nonresident while stationed outside California on permanent change of station (PCS) orders.
We tax nonresidents on California sourced income. (From the link you shared)
Line 5a and Line 5b – Pensions and Annuities (Taxable Amount) California resident amounts – Enter the portion of taxable pension and annuity income received while a resident of California. If this amount is a premature distribution and you owed the early distribution tax on your federal tax return, you generally owe this tax to California. Get form FTB 3805P to figure any additional tax due on this amount. California nonresident amounts – Qualified retirement distributions received by a nonresident are not taxable. For more information, get FTB Pub. 1005. [From the 2022 Instructions for Schedule CA (540NR)]
Just want to make sure I enter the correct amount to not get in any trouble with the IRS or the California FTB.
