FTB stated that since we filed our federal jointly That we must also file CA jointly. Since both states are community property states, we must claim one half of the others income as our own. I am a non-resident and therefore must claim/declare one-half of her income as California-sourced income even though I am a WA resident. She as a California resident, in addition to half of her income, she must also claim half of mine..in essence, we must declare 100% of her income as a resident and 50% of mine as a non-resident.
