State tax filing

You may want to check an entry in the Personal Info Tab.  You should say that you LIVED in California only, but that you did work in another state, New Jersey.  Your situation does not qualify for "living" in New Jersey because of the temporary nature.  This should convert the part-year return to a nonresident return.  If it doesn't, then override it.  You should file a nonresident return in NJ.
