Yes, as a Native
American living and working on a reservation, you may be able to exempt your
wages from State Income Tax (but not Federal). Read more here: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals/Native_Americans/
Here are the
instructions on how to do this in TurboTax:
When you finish the
Federal Taxes section, click State Taxes
in the TurboTax header.
- Begin the state tax
return interview.
- Continue to the page
titled "Here's the income that XXXX handles differently"
- Click Start/Revisit
beside "Tribal Income"
- Choose your Tribe
Name and enter the amount of tribal income to exclude. See the blue link
"nonbusiness tribal income" for help.
- If your tribe is NOT
on the drop-down list, it may not have a tax agreement with your State. Contact
your local tribe representative for more info.
Complete the state
interview to save your entries.
