You got that right.
Generally, you must file an income tax return if you’re a resident, part-year resident, or nonresident and:
Are required to file a federal return
Receive income from a source in California
Have income above a certain amount

The proverbial junk yard dog has nothing on franchise tax. They tried to come after me for nine months that I was on training in California while on active duty. It took four telephone calls from me, then three letters and one phone call from my base JAG explaining to them about the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940 and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003 to get them to conclude, very reluctantly, that they couldn’t legally tax me.
