State tax filing

Mea culpa, let's get the forms open and make sure you also get your credits. You need to file the CA and possibly amend your resident state.

 

That case, the guy had clients inside CA. You are a 1099 person being paid by CA person so you are subject to the new rules. I am sorry about the previous tag on you.

 

Let's get you straight. The program should let you do a nonresident and enter the CA income. The first question is what state do you live in?   If the income is taxed in AZ, OR, or VA, those are reverse credit states. Therefore, you would claim a credit in CA for tax paid to your home state on that income. Reverse credit agreements apply to all taxable income, not just wages.

 

If you don't live in one of those states, then you need to prepare the CA and create a tax liability which becomes a credit to your home state, so you can get a refund.

 

In the forms mode, windows version, go up on the left of the list of forms and see OPEN FORM. Click on that, then CA, then any forms you want.
