State tax filing
Hi,
I saw your helpful answers on this thread and was hoping maybe you had some idea for me. My son is a dependent and a Maryland resident. Due to Covid, he spent less than 65 days in California in 2020 but he did earn about $7,000 of income working for his college remotely. He also had about $5,000 unearned income from a qualified 529 distribution. Turbotax keeps forcing a Form 3800 on him asking for his parents' California tax information. Since we re Maryland residents and don't earn money in California, we don't have a California tax return and can't answer those questions. In addition, he is already paying Maryland taxes on that unearned income, so it seems strange that he would also have to pay California taxes on that unearned income. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
