Open TurboTax.

On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your 20xx amended return, select The IRS or state sent me a notice (this option will let you to amend only your state return without making changes to your federal) and Continue.
On the next screen, select Something Else and Continue.

Your income is sourced in Texas and you don't owe CA taxes.

If you have CA taxes withheld, you should file a nonresident CA tax return reporting no CA income to claim a refund of CA taxes withheld.

thank you so much! I just changed those CA earnings to 0 and see the refund. i have been paying for years 😞 any advice about previous returns? I misunderstood the CA earning portion to mean earned from california instead of physically in california... ughhhh. thanks again!
