Hello All,

I’m a Nevada resident who won a $200000 jackpot playing the California Lottery, which I added as income on my 2023 Federal return. Since California does not tax Lottery winnings, must I file a California tax return?

If you are a Nevada resident, and you didn't receive any income that is taxable by California, then you don't need to file a California state tax return.

See this Franchise Tax Board webpage regarding types of gambling income taxable in California. As you noted, California doesn't tax California lottery winnings.

So Sorry. The Lottery jackpot was 2 thousand dollars.
