State tax filing

Non-residents of New York are subject to NY income tax on NY-source income.  This web reference details what is considered to be NY-source income:

Your home state of CA can tax ALL your income, regardless of its source.

 

If you are subject to NY income tax, you must file a non-resident NY tax return in addition to your home state CA tax return.  CA will give you a credit for the taxes paid to NY on any income that is taxed by both states, so in effect you won't be double-taxed.  With TurboTax, you should complete your non-resident tax return before your home state tax return.  The program will then calculate and apply your credit.
