Hello Everyone,

I have a new client that lives in and is a resident of Nevada. He and his wife lived in Nevada for the entire year of 2023. His wife works for a company that resides in California. She received a w-2 for California State withholding. The state of California claimed they want a tax on over 47% of the Gross. The State withheld 6%. His wife traveled to California on occasion at the most 10 times last year at the company's expense. I need help on whether they are required to file a state return or if is possibly a mistake on the company's behalf. I have read on ftb.ca.gov, website the nonresident ruling, however, it is very vague, if anyone is an expert in California taxation rules I would very much appreciate the help and guidance for future reference.
