Generally, pension income is taxable in your Resident State, no matter what state you lived in when you earned it.
H & W would not be filing a joint state return, as they are residents of different states.
W would report 50% of H's pension income on their California return (community income).
Since H's pension is not considered 'CA source income', they would not need to file a CA return, unless they have other California income to report.
Here's more detailed info from CA FTB on RDP Filing Requirements.
Thank you. The pension is paid to W in CA; H receives 50% in NV as community property; a joint 540-NR is required because H has CA source wages and H and W file a joint federal return. Should be same result: 50% allocated to H and 50% to W; W is taxed in CA on 50% of pension, and H is not taxed in CA on his 50% community property share.
