I was only a resident of California. I did some work in Louisiana that took me there for about a month over the course of 2019.
In thinking about it, why do I need to allocate any of the legal expenses to Louisiana? They all occurred IN California since it was a California state Civil case. And I don't see any way to create a ratio. From looking at the forms, it appears that California automatically takes into account the ATL deduction because it uses AGI from the 1040. And that AGI is calculated by subtracting out ATL legal fees.
Does this sound remotely correct?
