Transient California Resident and State Income Tax on Dividends

Hello,

I'm a full time resident of a state without an income tax. A few years ago I purchased a small vacation home in California but I spend less than 4 weeks a year there total. Currently I source none of my income from California and am employed full time in my home state.

However, I was recently offered an opportunity to "moonlight" in California. I am considering doing this while I am vacationing in California. Again, I would not spend more than 4 weeks a year at my California residence and I would remain fully employed in my home state.

I fully understand that I would have to pay California state tax on the income I obtain sourced from California. But, would there be any possibility at all that California would pursue state income tax on my investment / dividend income in this scenario? If the answer is yes then I would probably not bother with this "moonlighting" option.

Thanks in advance for considering my situation...
