On the Turbo Tax section under My Info It says Date you became a resident of California but i moved to Texas so is it just a typo on the website?

You are working on a 2023 tax return.   You do not need to go back to when you were born or where you were born.   It is asking you for dates in tax year 2023.

I agree with the original posters confusion. In the personal info section it was noted that a move was made from California to another state effective Nov. 2023.  Prior to the move to another state, my child lived in California their entire life.  

 

On the Residency Information Before 2023 page, TT has auto-populated:

  • Were you a California resident before 2023  -  NO
  • Did you enter California before 2023 - NO
  • Did you leave California before 2023 - NO

I understand why the third question is NO but not clear on why the first two are NO.  Should the dropdown been left BLANK in the personal section rather than selecting California as the state before the move?

 

Thanks

Or , maybe you accidentally entered that you moved to CA from TX?

 

Check/edit  the My Info section about yourself.

Make sure you indicated that you were a TX resident on 31 Dec (end of year) and the state you moved FROM was CA.
