$30,000

Explanation: He received six monthly payments (Jul–Dec) of $5,000 = $30,000. California taxes (a) worldwide income while he was a resident (through Sept. 14) and (b) California‑source income after he became a nonresident. His pension is for California teaching service, so it is California‑sourced — therefore all $30,000 is taxable by California for 2024.
