Where do I enter "senior exemption credit" on my California tax return?

Anonymous · ‎June 3, 2019

I understand there is a Senior Exemption Tax Credit for those 65 years of age and older, on California state tax forms. I don't see a place to enter or select this exemption.

The program does this automatically.

This is not something you need to enter. It will automatically occur based on your birthdate from the federal return. Everyone in California gets an exemption that is subtracted from their income which is $118. You get an additional $118 exemption based on your age (65 and over).

If you have more questions about this, ask in the comment box below.
