I live in Arizona and work remotely for a company in California and received a 1099-MISC for income earned. I've just learned from another thread that according to a case ruling last year that all 1099-MISC income earned in California is subject to state taxes even if you are a non-resident (https://whyblu.com/blog/nonresident-sole-proprietors-1099-income-from-california-customers-is-taxed-...). Therefore, I'm filling out a CA state income tax form and have come to a part that is asking me to enter all my CA earned income and it shows my federal adjusted rate and a box to enter my CA amount. I'm confused since the federal adjusted rate is lower than my CA income. ** Note I also received a W-2 from a CA employer and not sure if this federal rate is including that. Anyways, where exactly am I entering the 1099 MISC income? Thanks!

You would enter the portion that is income less expenses earned from a California source.
If the 1099-MISC is for Self-employment income attributed to California, you'll enter the amount that was income on your schedule C from this 1099-MISC.
For example, if half your revenue is from California, claim half the business income from your Schedule C if that makes sense. If you have different expenses for different customers, you'll need to allocate those expenses between the customers and report the income attributed to the California source. If all your business revenue is from this one California source, enter the business income from your Schedule C.
Be sure to do the California non-resident return first, then Arizona.
If you owe and pay tax to California, Arizona will credit you for those taxes paid to California.
