I need some help completing the entries on the subject worksheet, which answers the interview questions from "Rental Real Estate, Royalties, etc" and specifically these items while a California non-resident (and eventually the values get reported on CA Schedule 540NR):
My specifics are:
Line 5 (Rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, S corps, trusts etc): Column A (Federal Amount) -24,052
This number comes from line 26 of my federal schedule E, which lists two rental properties, one in Virginia in one in California. The VA property had a profit, the CA property had a loss. It would seem to me that I should remove all the VA entries that are included in the -$24,052 and only use the numbers associated with the CA property. This would result in the number being much larger, -$31,825. Am I missing something, or am I doing this correctly? When I see a manual inputted value that is so different from the turbotax transferred value, I feel the need to validate.
Thanks
Harold
What you are being asked to enter is all of your rental income while you were a Calif resident (if any), plus rental income from Calif sources while you were a nonresident (if any).
If you were a Calif nonresident for all of 2019 then you would just enter the Calif rental income(loss).
Sch CA(NR) columns A-D hold your total income and adjustments as if you had been a Calif resident all year. Column E is for just the Calif amounts as described above and those amounts are what are subject to tax on Form 540NR.
