After being California residents for the past few years (and filing federal and state taxes each year), my spouse and I moved to a foreign country in May 2024.
On the "Residency Information During 2024" screen, I answered the following:
Did you become a California resident during 2024? - No.
Did you become a California nonresident during 2024? - Yes.
Were you a California nonresident during all of 2024? - No.
As I complete the rest of the state return and proceed to State Review, TurboTax finds an error and asks me to enter the 2-letter code for Line 5 "I was a CA nonresident the entire year (enter state of residence)". I planned on just leaving it blank and proceeding to file but when I reviewed the form in its entirety, I noticed that TurboTax had checked "Nonresident" on Line 1 instead of "Part-Year Resident" and left Line 4 ("I became a California nonresident) blank.
I also did not get any prompts relating to my "Date of move" while completing the return.
Am I answering the questions wrong?
How do I get the Sch CA(540NR) form to reflect "Part-Year Resident"?
Has anyone else encountered this issue before?
Not sure if relevant but I specified "FC (Foreign Country)" on the state/country of domicile question.
