I moved in September to Texas and its asking when i became a resident in California but i was born and raised and i cant put any date earlier than this year?

You are working on a 2023 tax return.   You do not need to go back to when you were born or where you were born.   It is asking you for dates in tax year 2023.

Enter date 01/01/2023.

Or , maybe you accidentally entered that you moved to CA from TX?

Check/edit  the My Info section about yourself.

Make sure you indicated that you were a TX resident on 31 Dec (end of year) and the state you moved FROM was CA.

I agree with the original posters confusion. In the personal info section it was noted that a move was made from California to another state effective Nov. 2023.  Prior to the move to another state, my child lived in California their entire life.  

On the Residency Information Before 2023 page, TT has auto-populated:

• Were you a California resident before 2023  -  NO
• Did you enter California before 2023 - NO
• Did you leave California before 2023 - NO

I understand why the third question is NO but not clear on why the first two are NO.  Should the dropdown been left BLANK in the personal section rather than selecting California as the state before the move?

Thanks

I should mention that this page is coming up on the California return, not the new state.

Yes, some of the choices that are pre-done in this case are a bit odd, but you can change them to reflect your actual history.
