I can either respond to the California Franchise Tax Board on your behalf or file an amended return in your home state to get credit for tax paid to CA if you already paid them. You can go to

I will keep your number handy! I was based in CA in 07 & 08 paid my taxes in Iowa where I lived back then and still do now. Haven't gotten my letter yet but won't be surprised when it arrives. If I end up having to pay them $, it will be in the form of an IOU since that is the preferred method they use to pay their fine citizens!
