If you are an active duty military member whose SLR (State of Legal Residence) is California, and you were stationed outside California all year, you do not have to file a California tax return unless you had California-source income (for example, rental income from a property located in California).
If you did have any California-source income, you'd file your CA return as a non-resident.
