Yes. California (CA) requires a complete copy of your federal return.
Make sure you:
- Sign your tax return
- If you’re filing a joint return both people must sign the return
- Make sure your name, address, and social security number(s) are correct
- Check your math
- Attach a copy of your federal return (if not using form 540 2EZ)
- Attach a copy of your W-2
- File your original return, not a copy
Mail your tax return
Visit our mailing addresses page to find out where to mail your return. The address will be different if you’re sending a payment with your tax return versus without a payment.
If you expect a refund, make sure your address is up to date. Visit how do I change my address for more information.
