State tax filing

I was able to glean the following from the California FTB web site:

 

The trustee may have to file a return if the trust meets any of these:

  • The trustee or beneficiary (non-contingent) is a California resident
  • Gross income is over $10,000
  • Net income is over $100
  • The trust has income from a California source
  • Income is distributed to a beneficiary

Of course, you stated that you, yourself, are a California resident and are the fiduciary (trustee).
