Do I need to file a STATE for ALABAMA?

[user26879]

I live in CA, but I had a property  (vacant lot) I sold in Alabama for a loss. Do I still need to file an Alabama  return as well as CA?

No, since you have zero AL income.

Nonresidents must file a return if their Alabama income exceeds the allowable prorated personal exemption.

Thank you! That is what I thought, but did not want to be wrong.
