$16,000

Explanation: California taxes a part‑year resident on all income received while a California resident. California also treats alimony as taxable income here (the federal TCJA change eliminating alimony inclusion for post‑2018 agreements does not change California treatment), so only the $16,000 received while he was a California resident is included on his CA return.
