I live in CO and work two jobs. One is in person in CO and one is remotely in CA. I am trying to complete my taxes online using TurboTax and I am very confused about this one section (see pics). Thank you to anyone willing to clarify this for me.

Your Colorado Income from 'California Sources' is the $784.37 shown on your W-2. This the only income CA will tax you on as a Non-Resident. You paid $0 tax to CA on this amount.

Here's more info on How to File a Non-Resident State Return.

Thank you so much for your help. Just to clarify, I would correct the following then?

Colorado income from sources in California $56,324 --> Corrected to be $784.37

Tax paid to California on double-taxed income $1,629 --> Corrected to be $0

It is concerning to me that TurboTax uploaded these other figures because it is so different. Thank you.

Yes, you would make the corrections stated which is exactly what is shown on your W-2. You may want to check your federal W-2 entry to make sure you have two states by using 'Add another state'. Regardless, the correct information is provided by @mglauner and your understanding is correct:

Colorado income from sources in California $56,324 --> Corrected to be $784.37
Tax paid to California on double-taxed income $1,629 --> Corrected to be $0
