California wants you to pay double taxes because they need to put food on the table of all their new 'immigrants' and put their kids through college for free. California, the worst place on earth.

What's the best way to go about this?

I received the same letter the other day, I called them, told them i was only based there for 5 months and never lived there. (Not even a crashpad)
They told me to fill out section B on the form and fax or mail it back to them. I filled it out and told them that less than 50% of my income was made while working out of CA and thats all i was told to do. We'll see if i hear anything back from them or not but this was from 2007 taxes!! 2 years later they are attempting to hit me up for taxes because they're going bankrupt. Not my problem California

Again, just because you pay taxes in one state does not automatically exempt you from having to pay another...many folks do, but they are usually dual-residents who split their time between the states in question. Flight crew can usually avoid it by not putting down roots and leaving a paper trail.
And when it comes to government revenue services...if they say you ow them, you are guilty unless you can prove otherwise.

All you big manly conservatives scare us liberuls; we may be too scared to work and pay federal taxes so that the goverm'nt can dole out the money to all you real americans in the fly over states.

re-re-repost from
clipping from an earlier post
Your CA income isn't taxed unless more than 50% of your flight time was in California. Whether they'd make you document that, and how that would play for a reserve guy who didn't get launched every day-who knows. Next link is from the State of California tax website, so, hopefully whatever crat you wind up speaking with next week is somewhat aware of California tax laws. If not, 1031 is the pub you need to remember (See p.7)
