State tax Help

I am a military member domiciled and stationed in California while my spouse is a civilian domiciled in Alaska. They never had wages earned in California. How would I complete this part of my taxes? Do I just put how much I earned on the California amount box? Or is this pertaining to how much my spouse earned? I am just confused.

Only put what you earned.  Your spouse's wages should not be subject to CA State income taxes since she was not domiciled and did not earn wages in California.
