On the CA return, you will want to only claim your half of the gain. Your wife's share of the gain is not taxable to CA. Here are the steps:

  1. Be sure to mark that your wife is a FL resident and had income from FL back in the personal information section.
  2. When you enter CA, it will ask about your state residency and station, then the program will realize that you are filing a form 540NR for non-residents and part year, which is what you need.
  3. Select continue
  4. Answer the residency, days there questions until you get to the income section.
  5. Adjust the income from the sale to only reflect your half.
