$45,000.

Explanation: California taxes all income from all sources while you are a resident. Xavier only became a CA resident on July 1, 2024, so only the $45,000 of wages earned/received after that date (in California) is taxable by California. The $50,000 earned and received in Montana before July 1 is not taxable by California.
