Thanks for the response, but this is not the issue. I've been serving in the military for 19 years and I'm well versed in Home of Record versus residency. While I've been stationed in California three different times, I have never been a resident of the state. My state of residency is Oregon. This hasn't stopped California from coming after me for taxes twice because I filed a federal return with a California address. It's almost like they are targeting the military which doesn't seem legal, but we're still stuck proving we don't owe the state money. My question was seeking info that California was looking for in their form to see if I'm required to file. I entered "0" in the fields but it kept telling me that the number had to be greater than "0" yet I didn't have any of the income that it was asking about. I cleared the fields and left them blank and the system took it. So now I wait up to 21 days to see if California still thinks I owe money.
