State tax filing

No. If you moved out of CA during the year, Use Form 540NR.

As a part-year resident, you pay tax on:

  • All worldwide income received while a California resident
  • Income from California sources while you were a nonresident. 

After you moved, you w-2 income is not considered CA source income. The source of income from services compensated by W-2 wages is the location where the services are performed, not the location of the employer. 

 

How do I file a part-year state return?
