@Ballerina016 : I do not think your first paragraph is completely correct, but it’s close. Assuming student is still viewing self as a California resident, I believe ALL income needs to be DECLARED on the California return, but there will be a credit for the taxes paid to another state on out-of-state income.

That actually feeds into the second one. Student may well owe taxes in California on the Washington income … or not. I highly recommend buying a good tax preparation program that can walk you through the questions. We had these issues with a CA resident who had NY and NH income, and I would not have wanted to try to figure it out on my own.
