In 2017 we moved from CA to WA. In 2018, CA State teachers kept deducting CA state taxes from my wife's retirement pay. What forms are needed for a refund?

It's a small amount, so do we need to submit anything at all or can we just let it go?

You don't have to file a nonresident Calif return to get the full refund if you don't want to. Filling out a Calif Form 540NR and a Schedule CA(NR) by hand isn't a simple, quick slam-dunk so if the $$ isn't worth the bother then fuhgetaboudit.
