ndtc Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have filed a Federal 1040 married filing joint, but husband non resident of CA and wife resident of CA. Tried to file CA as maried filing seperate - over writing and substituting wife (resident) as taxpayer with over written SS # and spouse over written from federal. this does not work. Any ideas? Hope everyone is doing fine Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmallard Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Tom, I believe you have to file MFJ for California also. Use CA Form 540NR (Part-Year and Non-Resident). The CA NR Adjustments form is where you can show the residence of husband and spouse. The husband may be a non-resident, however, all income earned while in CA is taxed.
