Thanks I had no idea and am now trying to fill out my non-resident CA tax form and it's not picking up the amount on my 1099-MISC. When I get to the page to input all my earned income from the state it shows a federal deduction of one half of my self-employment tax (which is lower than the total amount earned) and when I try to input it it say it can't be higher. Note I also received a W2 from California and not sure if this amount is coming from that. I'm so confused as to where I input the 1099 misc amount.
