State Of California Income Tax Forms – Information To Know About Them
If you live in the state of California, chances are you have to file your state taxes forms every year. Very few people don’t have to file – those who have no income or are too young are among them. If you have to file California income taxes, here are a few things to know about the state income tax forms for California.
Where To Get Them?
If you filed taxes last year, chances are you will get your new state tax forms in the mail. If you are filing through the mail, these are the easiest to use. Just complete them and mail them in, using the mailing label that the state sent you. It is the best way to have them processed quickly.

There are also other sites that have the state income tax forms – they are usually self-help sites around the Internet.

You must print the form once it is filled in, and the next time you open the form, it will be blank again. If you want to retain a copy of your tax form electronically, be sure you use a form that is savable once filled in.

For the basic form – the CA 540 – you will need to have already completed this year’s tax form for the IRS. Some of the information from the federal form will be transferred directly to the CA 540, or to the CA (540) form, which is the form on which the adjustments are made between the federal form and the state tax form.
