CA Residency Status Keeps Reverting to Full-Year Nonresident and Blocking Other State Tax Credit

Hi,

I moved from New York to California on 06/28/2025.

01/01/2025 – 06/27/2025: Lived and worked in NY
06/28/2025 – 10/09/2025: Lived in CA but continued working remotely for my NY employer
After 10/09/2025:Lived in CA and Worked for a CA employer

The income I earned between 06/28/2025 and 10/09/2025 (from the NY employer) was taxed by both New York and California, so I am trying to claim the California Other State Tax Credit.

In the CA residency section:

I answer Yes to “Did you become a CA resident during 2025?”
I answer No to “Did you become a CA nonresident during 2025?”
I answer No to “Were you a CA nonresident for all of 2025?”

However, TurboTax keeps changing the last answer back to Yes, which makes me a full-year CA nonresident. As a result, I cannot claim the CA Other State Tax Credit.

How can I fix this so I am correctly treated as a part-year CA resident and able to claim the credit for taxes paid to NY?

Thank you.

Can you clarify if you were able to indicate that you were a part-year California resident? And were you able to allocate your California income in the California section? @diaolilin

I started a new return and that fixed the problem. Thank you.
