About the sequence - I filed both the taxes together on Sprintax (the only available option for non-resident students). I see that Utah Tax Return doesn't have any mention of California, but California State Tax return does factor in Utah taxes.
Does this mean that for tax purposes, I was considered a California resident? I'm not sure I Sprintax inferred that. It is true that I had moved to California permanently in the last week of 2016, an information I provided Sprintax, but not sure if that makes me a California resident for tax purposes for the year 2016.
