You may have received income that is taxable in California and in your own resident state as well. You may qualify for a tax credit. California is a community property state. This means that all property married couples acquire while domiciled in California is community property. Each spouse owns an equal share of all community property.
Separate property is all property owned separately by the husband or wife before marriage.
It includes all property acquired separately after marriage, such as gifts or inheritances. Separate property also includes money earned while domiciled in a separate property state. Community property ends when either one of the spouses dies. It also ends when the decree of dissolution becomes final or when the couple separates with no intention of rejoining.
