    nonresident alien - Head of Household

    On page 3 of CA Form 540 booklet, to use the head of household
    filing status, a taxpayer should not be a nonresident alien.
    Does nonresident alien refer to Federal definition including physical present test in US, or nonresident of California?

    Nonresident Alien
    An alien is a person who is not a U.S. citizen. A
    nonresident is a person who does not meet the
    green card test and the substantial presence test.
    If you are a nonresident alien during any part of
    the year, you do not qualify for head of household
    filing status even though you may meet all of
    the other rules for the filing status.
