why does my california nonresident return show taxes owed when i have only losses from california sources?

Portiasteve · ‎April 11, 2023

i am a nonresident of california but have a schedule c based in california and a california rental. Both have negative income for 2022, but my 540NR return shows about $24,000 in california taxable income and over $1,000 owed in california taxes. Where is turbotax getting these numbers?

If you are using TurboTax CD/Downloads,

Select forms mode from the top right corner.
Select form 540NR from the left panel.
Review the The total Taxable Income Section to check the source of that income.
