I live and work overseas, but have a mailing address in California. I need to submit a non-resident return, but can't find a way to do that through TurboTax desktop. I have downloaded the California state return and it asks if I have a principal residence in another location. I select Yes, but it only lists US states as options. I went through the help provided and it says
"- If you reside in a foreign country at the time of filing, enter the city, province or state, and country in the city field. Follow the country's practice for entering the postal code. Do not abbreviate the country name."
I did this and left the state cell blank, but the program will not let me go to the next screen with a blank state.
I have found no way to enter the dates that I was in California or to let the program know that I was not present in California last year.
Please help!!
