Accounting

Nichelle Smith is a nonresident who, while visiting relatives in California, won $1,500 at the racetrack. Her only other income for the year is $20,000 in wages and $5,000 in unemployment income, both from her home state. She is single and has no dependents. Is Nichelle required to file a California tax return?

a. Nichelle is not required to file a California return because her only income from California is lower than the California filing requirement for a single person with no dependents.

b. She must file a California nonresident return because she has California-source income and her California AGI ($21,500) exceeds her 2022 limit of $20,913 for a single person with no dependents.

c. She is not required to file since the unemployment income is from another state.

d. She is required to file, but only will be required to claim California source income of the lottery winnings and the unemployment income.
