Why is my 1099-NEC getting included with my California taxes when I don't live in California and I didn't do my 1099 work in California?
I live in Nevada, I did DoorDash while living in Nevada, I work part time in California, so why is my 1099 income being included with my California income?

The California taxable income of a nonresident individual is calculated as if all income were earned in California. The Federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) will be adjusted using the California adjustments to arrive at AGI from all sources. The AGI from all sources is used to determine the taxable income. After the taxable income is calculated, it is prorated using a percentage of the AGI from California sources divided by the AGI from all sources. This prorated tax is the California tax.
