    My mind reading told me @invst4u (a he) was asking how much of the foreign earned income on Form 2555 or 2555EZ would also be excluded on the CA return.

    The answer is zero, zilch, nada, none or nothing...

    On Form 540, the full amount on Form 2555 is added back to the Federal AGI.

     

    I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.

          CA residents are taxed on their worldwide income, foreign (country or *foreign* state) income or not.

          And I wasn't aware *tax returns* could actually "work" /S
