How to calculate Non-CA HSA?

[Anonymous]

I moved from MA to CA in March 2018, so I spent 25% of the year as a MA resident and 75% as a CA resident. I contributed to the max $3450 for 2018.  I was lucky that my MA employer contributed $1600 upfront into my HSA account in Jan 2018 while I was a resident of MA

When I file my CA state return and calculate how much HSA should be attributed to CA, can I say that exactly $1600 is not applicable to CA HSA contribution (since CA does not deduct HSA)? 

Or do I have to do 25% of the year in MA --> 25% multiplied by $3450 = $862 is not applicable to HSA contribution?

I'm not sure which method the IRS will use to auto verify my amounts of HSA to each state...

The IRS will not use a method to auto verify your amounts to each state, because for the IRS, HSA contributions are treated the same way for every state.

It is California that will care. I have not seen a formula that California would use to figure the allocation (they may not even have one). Pick a formula that you are comfortable with and document it and leave it in your tax files in case anyone in California ever writes you a letter asking how you came to that number.
