I work remote for a company based in Oregon and my spouse and I both live in California. My spouse is active military and we are filing jointly, he is a non-resident of California and his state taxes are based on Colorado. I file resident in California as I am registered to vote in California. I am not quite sure if that is the right way I need to file so please let me know if that is incorrect.

My question is on my W2 it does not have any state taxes listed. When TT is asking me how much did I earn in California, do I put 0 since I work remote? Do I put how much I earned since my spouse is non-resident and does state taxes in CO?

Since you have California domicile, you will have to report your income to California.

You may qualify for a California tax exemption under the MSRAA if all of the following apply:

You’re not in the military
You’re legally married to the military servicemember
You live with your military spouse/RDP
Your military spouse must have permanent change of station (PCS) orders to California
Your domicile is a state other than California
