    Line 20, form 540NR Short
    I am trying to fill out the tax form 540NR short and I don't know what to put on line 20 - is it obvious and I am just being silly - but what is it asking? How much taxes I paid on the income from line 19? Where would I get this number? Sorry - I am so not good with this tax stuff - any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Instead of filing return that has mistake, you should seek professional help.

    Oh come on! Just answer the question! That line is totally confusing. Tax could mean anything. Is the purpose of this site just to refer people to companies that make you pay to answer a question? Hasn't anybody who lives in CA figured this out?

    I resent that implication.

    While I do not deny that I solicit business while answering questions, the answers provided on this site help countless thousands who desperately need help to understand our often bewildering tax system. The advice offered on this site is free and comes from hard-working tax professionals who are taking time out of their busy schedules to post the answers and who, for the most part, get NO compensation for their time, effort or expertise.

    As to why Mukata referred the client to me, it's simple. She did not provide enough information for us to properly answer the question.
