Filing as MFS (separated from my husband who is in UT).
I own a home which I rent out in UT and live and rent an apt. in CA (full-time resident). I am doing my UT return and claiming as non-resident since I did not work there in 2023, just rented my property and travel there to take care of the property. In 2023, my rental income was less than my expenses (repairs, property taxes, mortg. insurance, etc.) so all the deductions, I am at negative.
1) Do I still need to file return with UT if my UT rental entry is negative due to deductions? If I still need to file with UT, what do I enter as UT income when it is asking me about rents and royalties income. Do I enter the income before all the deductions or what is after all the deductions (the negative one)?
2) When I start on my CA return, it lists UT property under Income - Rental and Royalty Adjustment. It shows $0 but the property is still there. How do I ensure that CA does not tax me on my UT property income?
3) On both Federal and UT state return in Turbo tax is showing standard/itemized deductions of $13,850 but on CA it is showing $5,363. I don't know why it is doing that? Any help would be appreciated.
Last year I was part-time resident with UT and CA and I don't remember these issues. Thank you!
