Client moved to California September 1st from the Netherlands. Her W2 from the US is different for Federal and California (it shouldn't be, but their payroll department screwed up and won't own up to it).

When I use the wage allocation on line 1 it shows the correct amount of CA source income but then "apportions" the income so that she's paying a higher tax than she would have on just the CA income earned. It works if I use the "State Wages, if different" line, but I keep getting Critical Diagnostics, so I'm second guessing myself.

She should only be paying CA taxes on wages earned while she lived in California, right?
