I am retired and have lived in Nevada for 4 years.  Working from home, I did about $23K in consulting this year for a California Construction company. I received a 1099-NEC form from the Construction company and am wondering if I am required to file a CA tax return for the money I made?

No, you are not required to file a nonresident California return for this income. Since NV is both your resident state and where you performed the work, it is not taxable by California. 

 

If there is any information listed in the state section of your 1099-NEC, you may want to ask your client to see if they will issue a corrected copy with the state information removed. This is not necessary but ties up any loose ends.
