Claiming California vs. Federal Dependent
On TurboTax 2024, if I want to claim my dependent on my California tax return but not my federal tax return, does my dependent have to check the box "Another tax payer can claim me on their tax return" and also check the box "Another taxpayer will not claim me in 2024"? I am also confused as to whether these checkbox statements pertain to federal tax return, state tax return, or either, as it's not specified.
After that there is another question for my dependent on TurboTax - "Do either of these statements apply to the other tax payer? 1. The person is required to file a 2024 tax return. 2. The person is filing a 2024 tax return for reasons other than getting a refund of taxes paid or withheld." How does checking "Yes" or "No" to this question affect my dependent's credit and deductions?
