Virginia is a reverse credit state so it is reported correctly. He will file and report the income to California as a resident, then prepare the Virginia nonresident return. He will get (at least most of) the Virginia withholding refunded, but owe California. I believe Virginia allows the reverse credit because they have a statutory residency (if you live in the state more than 183 days) even if it is not your domicile.
