Since the W2 already shows a $6K figure which I don’t agree with but “allocated” by my employer, can I show a different number on the CA NR return? How can I do that on the 540 NR? My argument is none of my wages are not sourced in CA. Whether I took this trip or not my income would not change. My full year wage income is already taxed by NY - the W2 shows the same figure for both NY state and federal, thus my employer didn’t adjust the NY income for the $6K shown for CA. I cannot claim credit for taxes paid to another state on the CA return as a non-resident. Is NJ on the hook here - meaning, I paid CA too but take a credit from NJ?
