As a non-resident of CA we have a rental there that yielded $3,500. Do I have to file?

You are required to file a Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return (Long or Short Form 540NR) with California if you have income from California sources, such as rental income, income from the sale of property, or partnership income in 2018 and you are:

  • Single with a total income from all sources of $17,693 or more
  • Married with joint income from all sources of $35,388 or more

Hi,

 

I am CA NR and am confused as to what to enter for the CA 540NR for rental income?

 

I am a TX resident and though I made $15K in rental net income from my rentals in CA, my Federal adjusted rental income is 0 (i guess due to QBI and other loss carryovers). So for the CA tax purposes should I use "0" for my rental income or use $15K? tempted to use $0, to avoid paying CA taxes for the $15K. Any advice asap? Happy to provide any further info. Federal AGI joint filing is $250K.

 

Thanks
