State tax filing

Somehow the CA FTB knows of your income (most likely CA appeared in boxes 16-18 of your 1099-Misc).

 

Returning the questionnaire should take care of the problem.  

 

The CA filing requirement goes by your total income, not just your CA source income. Ref: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/residency-status/part-year-and-nonresident.html
