How to enter a foreign address while doing CA state taxes?

[tbudd]

While getting started with the CA taxes, I'm being asked physical residence info. Now, I moved to India in April 2021 and have been staying here since then. So, for the most of 2021, including the time of filing (which is right now), I have been in India. 

But I had entered a CA address (that of my friend's for correspondence) in the Personal Info section of TT

Therefore, the question is how I should enter the foreign address in the form below. Note that even though the "Learn More" links suggests entering the complete foreign address in case I do reside in a foreign country at the time of filing, the provided input format is that of California. How do I get this sorted out?

If you're filing a Part-Year Resident return for California, make sure you entered the dates you lived in California in the My Info/Personal Info section in your Federal return.

Your 'Principal Residence' address would be your current foreign address.  Don't enter your friend's CA address in the Federal section.

You can Efile with a Foreign Address.  You need a US bank (or branch) account for Direct Deposit and a US Credit Card to pay TurboTax fees.
