State tax filing

You're doing this exactly right.

 

As a California resident, you're subject to tax on all of your income - even the income you earned in Nevada.

 

Since Nevada doesn't have state income tax, you don't need to file a Nevada return or pay Nevada taxes. Your income will automatically flow from your federal return over to your California return, even if you don't add anything California related on your W-2.
