1)The California adjustment for the deducible part of self-employment tax for a part-year resident uses which of these formulas?
Answer. b) Add self-employment income while a California resident plus self-employment income from California sources while a non-resident. These are divided by the total self-employment income.
Explanation: As per the FTB of State of California, Part-year resident can deduct the self-employment tax paid “which limited to a percentage of Total California Adjustments/Deductions”. The percentage is calculated as follows;
(Self-employment income while a California resident +
Self-employment income from California sources while a non-resident)
/
Total Self-employment income.
After calculating percentage, we should multiply this percentage with Total California Adjustments/Deductions to find the deducible part of self-employment tax.
2) Where would a California non-resident pay state income taxes on a pension earned while teaching in California?
Answer. b) Their state of residence (if it is a state with income taxes).
Explanation: As per the Pension and Annuity Guide lines by FTB of State of California, “California doesn’t levy any taxes on pension earned while teaching in California by a California non-resident after Dec 31, 1995.”
But California non-resident must have to pay Tax to their sate of residence (if it is a state with income taxes) on pension earned while teaching in California.
There are few states doesn’t have state income taxes or doesn’t tax pension Income, for example; Alaska, Florida, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, etc. So, California non-resident not required to pay Tax in these states on pension earned while teaching in California.
