State tax filing

It depends on the type of gambling winnings and if you are required to file a federal income tax return.

For CA, all gambling income is subject to CA state income tax except for CA Lottery winnings. So if you are required to file a federal income tax return and your CA gambling winnings are not from the CA Lottery, then you will need to file a CA state income tax return to report these CA sourced gambling winnings.
