State tax filing

Yes, Canadian RRSP gains are taxable in California.  Did your Capital Gains amount carryover correctly from your Federal return to CA?

 

From FTB Pub. 1001:

 

• Canadian Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) 

 

Under both federal and California law, the RRSP does not qualify as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and does not receive IRA treatment. The federal treaty that allows taxpayers to elect to defer taxation on their RRSP earnings until the time of distribution does not apply for California income tax purposes. California residents must include their RRSP earnings in their taxable income in the year earned.
