Question about Schedule 540NR Column B if nonresident worked half year in CA and half yeat in WA
I'm travel nurse with tax home at TN but worked for 6 months in CA and worked the rest 6 months in WA. I'm struggling to understand the column B in the schedule 540NR which is defined as Subtractions (difference between California and federal law). So I read the schedule 540NR instruction from CA gov saying that "Do not use column B to deduct income that was earned while a nonresident of California or from sources outside of California. There must be a difference in state and federal tax law." However, if I make half of my income in WA, then it should be considered as the difference between federal and CA. When I use the Turbotax Home and Business, it left column B blank. Is that correct? I think I may need some explaination.
Thank you so much if someone can help.
