Question

10990-NEC Living in CA, working remote for company in AZ...How do I file?

Greetings fellow filers, 

as the subject states, my question is in regards to whether I need to file a non-resident state tax form for AZ.
My total income from AZ is $5k exactly, and where I get stonewalled in the software is knowing what amount I am allocating to AZ, as the "Learn More" box mentions nothing about working remotely.  Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance for any help, it is much appreciated.

    Because you received the 1099-NEC, it is considered Self-Employment income so the income will be allocated to the state where you performed the work- California. You do not have to file an Arizona nonresident tax return.  Working remotely generally applies to W2/common law employees not independent contractors.
