I am confused by the "Farm and Other Income" screen on the Calfornia state tax form. I am filing as a non-resident.

I am confused by the "Farm and Other Income" screen.  In short, I am a full year resident of MA.  I won $3000 cash prize winnings in CA for a tv contest, so I must file a nonresident CA state tax return.  I don't want to accidentally double-claim winnings.  What do I enter on this screen?  Are they asking if I won anything ADDITIONAL to the federal claim or are they asking what portion of the federal did I earn in California?

Put $3,000 in the box.

They're asking for the portion that you won in CA.

Thank you!  I swapped to the "forms" version of TurboTax, instead of the Q&A version... and it definitely became clearer to me as the CA forms have a separate column to track CA income.  Your answer certainly boosts my confidence as well.  I appreciate your help.  Thank you again!
