My wife and I moved from CO to CA at the end of March 2019. I have completed (but not yet filed) our Federal and CO tax returns using TurboTax Home & Business as I have done for many years. I am stuck on two parts of the CA return, but will only list one here. The first is Nonresident Adjustments which divides my income between CA and CO. Under the heading of "Other California Taxable Income", TurboTax says "Enter the portion of the following income that you earned while you were a California resident. If none, enter zero". TurboTax then lists some categories including Pension & Annuity Distributions with the Federal Adjusted amount shown for each. It asks me to fill in the California amounts. I liquidated a chunk of my 401k to purchase a house in CA after we had moved to CA, but the funds were "earned" over a 34 year period in CO. What do they really want here? I already entered into TurboTax, everything there is to know about the dates of my relocation, dates and location of every dollar received in 2019, etc. Can someone please give me guidance?

A distribution from a 401K is taxable by your State of Residence at the time you receive it. Therefore, if you took the 401K distribution after your move to CA, it is CA income.
