State tax filing

Yes, CA does have filing thresholds for non-residents.

There are two filing thresholds: one based on your total gross worldwide income, and one based on your California adjusted gross income.  If you have California-source income, then you must file a non-resident CA tax return if your income exceeds either threshold amount.  You will find the specific details and numbers in this CA tax reference:

Income you earn from work physically carried out within California is California-source income.

 

ALL your income, including any earned in California, will continue to be taxable by your resident state of Hawaii; but you will be able to claim a credit on your HI return for any tax paid to CA on income that is taxed by both states.  In effect the credit prevents double taxation, which is prohibited by federal law.
