Since this is a Fellowship, it will count as "unearned Income" for the student.
The student should file a non-resident state return for California and a resident state return for the state in which you live.
Since she is a dependent and a student, she is considered a resident of your state and only temporarily away.
If the program still issues a CA 3800 for the student, enter 0 as your California income.
