CA TAX DUE IS THE AMOUNT I OWE THE STATE?

[JohnR1 · Accepted solution]

Yes that's correct - tax due indicates the net tax liability you owe to the State of California for the 2016 tax year, after netting any tax payments you have already made to the state (usually California tax withheld on your salary, and also any estimated tax payments you may have made).  The tax due is the amount that needs to be paid to the state.
