Hello @hbl3973,
I have a similar yet unique situation. I had a $4k research grant while at school in California and was claimed as a dependent by my parents who live in WA. I also moved out of state from CA in the fall for work, so I am filing as a part-year resident. I am having to fill out a 3800, with the $4k being counted as unearned income, and it is asking about my parents' 540NR income even though they are not California residents. Do you think I should not be having to fill out a 3800, or should I simply be filling in my parents' income information as $0 in all relevant boxes? My father doesn't like the idea of having to put their income as $0 because it implies they have a connection to CA. If you have insight into this situation I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
