State tax filing

Hi Linda, 

Thank you for the answer. I read over the docs linked. 

I guess I'm still confused, especially based on the answers previously in this thread.

Essentially, you can get a credit in each of the states you were a resident of if the income is taxed twice.  This will avoid any double taxation.  The input will depend upon the state reflected on your W-2, Box 15 for state source wages.

In the original question, the OP was a nonresident of both CA and NY, and was able to get credit in CA for taxes paid in NY. 

Currently, I'm a resident of NY - so this means I cannot get credit in CA for taxes paid in NY? Even though the same double tax rules apply?
