the simple answer is that CA requires you to pay state income tax when you physically work there - that even applies to individuals who go to CA on business multiple days of the year, even though they live in another state.    So you are liable for CA taxes based on the day you began working in CA. Whatever DATE of the year that is creates the demarcation date.   When ready to file for 2019, complete your KY forms first as you are a non-resident or partial year resident, THEN complete the CA return.  Be sure to use TT as it will be able to navigate the partial year taxes correctly   ...

look down the left side of form SSA-1099, it should reconcile down to what was actually deposited into your bank account; as posted by others, the taxable amount is the top line and then reduced by medicare premiums which should net to what you received in your bank account.  it's that gross number that is taxable income ...

@zenmster - let me try and make everyone's responses easier:    1) with respect to capital gains and losses, you can net them against each other. However,              a) long term capital losses must be netted against long term capital gains              b) short term capital losses must be netted against long term capital gains            c) if the result of b) is a loss, those losses can be netted against any remaining net capital gains from a)           d) if the result of a) is a loss, then CAN NOT be netted against any remaining net capital gains from b)   2) if there is a net capital loss after working through 1), then up to $3000 of these losses can be used to reduce ORDINARY income in the current year.   Any thing above $3000 of these losses can be used to offset any CAPITAL gains next year (per for rules in #1) or again to reduce ORDINARY income by up to $3,000 next year.... and repeat the cycle until all the losses are consumed.     Just use TT and follow the rules to input your trades; TT will figure all this out for you.      ...

I have every disk back to  1995    my recollection:    rhe way it worked in 2000 was a prelim disk was mailed in December and a final disk was mailed later ; there were no weekly updates the way TT administers the forms updates today via the internet    so if you have a 2000 disk, if it is marked as “final” , then that is what was used for federal returns    there was a separate desk for “state” - I think all the states were on the one disk; there was no preliminary disk for state so the 2000 disk is the final state disk      ...

for federal tax purposes, moving from one state to another has not impact on your taxes    for state tax purposes, fill out the tax forms for the state you moved from first and then complete the forms for the state you now live in.....  the state forms themselves will resolve your question on capital gains.  ...

they are not deductible.  while all the gains are tax-free when you take a distribution, the same goes for losses - they are 'tax-free' (i.e. not deductible).  ... View more
