I am California and US resident. My Spouse is a foreign national and residing in foreign country.
I have all my income in US and California.
My spouse has no income in US neither in foreign.
I already prepared return to do mail filing (as I need to attach w7 for ITIN) and electing treating my foreign spouse as full year resident on US return.
Questions:
- But while preparing California return, it is preparing 540NR. Shouldn't be resident return, as I was full year resident?
- As I am married and filing MFJ for federal. How can I file California return? MFJ or MFS?
- If I need to file MFS for california, how can I choose that status? And if MFS, do I still need to file paper return or I can efile?
