I moved to California from Texas (no state income tax) in January 2017. If I include my Texas wages, my tax liability for California increases. Is this correct?

Did you earn the Texas wages while living in CA?

If you weren't a resident of CA the entire year and still lived in TX and had some TX income in January sometime, you should file a Part Year CA return.

I earned all Texas income while living in Texas. It was less than a full month though (but got paid out a few months in vacation accrual). I did complete a CA 540NR and column E is correct, but total taxable income is in between the federal amount and CA earned amount.

Based on the information you provide I would consider you are California resident.

California residents - Taxed on ALL income, including income from sources outside California.

Hi! I'm having this same issue - I lived in Texas and earned money there from Jan 1st to March 31st 2019. After I moved to California on April 1st, I started a new job and paid CA taxes. When I enter my W2 information for jobs I had in Texas, my California state tax increases. How can I owe California state taxes on money I earned as a resident in Texas with a Texas company?
