My daughter is a student in CA and earned money during the school year working at the school. She is filing a CA tax return as a nonresident and is required to complete CA Form 3800 (she is also filing a federal return and a MO state return as a resident). Her parents are not residents of CA and do not file any state return in CA. Two Questions-
1. CA Form 3800 asks for information from the parents return- since the parents are not residents of CA and do not file CA state tax returns, how should this information be completed in turbo tax? Should the parent information be filled in as "0" or left blank or completed based on the information on their federal return?
2. My daughter has wages from her school job in CA (approx. $900); wages from a summer job in MO (approx. $5300) and passive income (approx. $2700)-
a. Since she is nonresident in CA, does this passive income get included/taxed in the CA return (I thought I read that CA only taxed amounts earned in CA for nonresidents)?
b. Based on the level of earnings in CA, does a CA tax return need to be filed?
