I thought that I (one of the spouse) was a 2021 part-year resident because I traveled on a job abroad. I traveled abroad but my job ended abruptly.
Later I realized, in order for me to qualify for the part-year CA resident under Safe Harbor -
"The spouse/RDP of the individual covered by this safe harbor rule will also be considered a nonresident while accompanying the individual outside California for at least 546 consecutive days. Return visits to California that do not exceed a total of 45 days during any taxable year covered by the employment contract are considered temporary."
I realized that I do not qualify for the 546 consecutive days rule, so I should be a CA resident in 2021. That is why I need to amend the CA filing. However, when I used TurboTax for the amendment, it did not changed my filing from 540NR to 540. Am I doing something wrong?
