Non-Resident tax filing for property sold

[Spark5]

Hi everyone,

I received some money from the sale of a house. This house was in California and was in a trust. It was sold in 2021. I received a K-1 that shows the amount I received. I live in Nevada (which does not have income tax), so need to pay California capital gains.

We've already submitted our Federal 2021 return via (online) TurboTax. We included the capital gains amount in the return. What we also need to file is a California return for the capital gains ( the K-1 had been submitted to both Federal and California agencies by a CPA). My understanding is that we need to file California Form 540NR. I would like to do this in TurboTax. What are the steps in TurboTax to get this done in?

Thanks!

The first step is you need to purchase the state return for California from within the program.

Thanks for the response!

Yesterday, I took the following steps within TurboTax:

1. Logged in to TurboTax then went to the "Tax Home" tab.
2. Scrolled to the bottom and clicked on "Add a state" (selected California)
3. Went through each screen and filled in where necessary.
4. On what appears to be the last screen, it offers the options to file BOTH the Federal and State returns together OR to delete the State form and file just the Federal form. Problem is that we have ALREADY filed our Federal form. I just need to file the State form. What do I do at this point so that I file just the state form?

You have to print and mail a state return after you have filed your federal return.

Can I print the state form out of TurboTax and will this form have all the state information I've entered already?

Will I just need to print then sign, date and mail the form (540NR, I believe it should be) to the state?

Yes, it should have everything you need to file and you should be able to print only your state return.
