Hi Bill,
First of all, thanks for all the details and your time!
I understand I need to adjust my CA income include HSA
1. For example: My HSA is 2000
2. I live in CA for 275 days in 2022 and I had HSA only in CA. So I undersand my other earned income in column E should be 2000
Below is what I really concern about.
In CA tax Income and adjustments section: Tell us about your California income: How much of the $(Total adjusted income) did you earn while living or working in California
I entered 12000 ( CA W2 box 16 State Wage included HSA)
However, this 12000 is show up in line 1a (Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box1) in my CA 540NR.
In the end, total CA amount: 12000 (line 1a Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box1) + 2000(Other earned income) = 14000 in my CA 540NR. It means that I will be taxed for 4000 adjusted income instead of 2000.
For my understanding, Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box1 shoud be 10000 (exclude HSA) which is the amount in my CA W2 box1
If I gave10000 in Tell us about your California income: How much of the$(Total adjusted income) did you earn while living or working in California, 10000 will be magically show up in line 1a (Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box1) in my CA 540NR.
I am tring to explain is that TurboTax automatically gives the amount which is I entered in "Tell us about your California income" (CA W2 box 16 State Wage included HSA) into line 1a (Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box1) in my CA 540NR.
To avoid confussion, above line 1a (Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box1) is in my CA 540NR.
thanks
