CA state income tax Hi,
I started a new job in CA in 2010. I was in CA for couple of days and was paid for those days. Also, I was paid a sign-on bonus (about 15% of 2010 Federal AGI). I did sign the offer letter from my old state. My W2 shows about 9-10% of CA state tax (mostly because of the signon amount).
How would the CA state tax work in this case. Will it be something like this:
ratio = (CA state income/Total Income in 2010).
State Tax = Ratio * (State Tax on Total Income in 2010)
Is there a way I can claim that since I signed the offer letter from a state outside the CA therefore that income was not CA income ?
Thanks
