My permanent residence is IN and I can transfer from store to store if gone for more than 30 days. The W-2 shows IN and CA wages under Gross Federal wages but it breaks out under State Wages for CA and IN. However, the IN state wages listed are total gross federal wages so appears I will be paying twice on income earned in CA if I file as NR (non resident) there and permanent resident in IN. According to turbotax and CA online resources though, I need to do two tax returns? Also, I was not renting or buying in CA - stayed with relative while visiting.
Lastly, CA is wanting to tax my gains on mutual funds that were sold during time I was there even though they are not related to CA property of any sort. In fact, they were sold and reinvested within the mutual fund account. Can that possibly be right?
