Hi Regina,
Thank you for the quick and thoughtful reply - I really appreciate your help.
I suppose I wasn't sure how to answer because *I* did not file a 2018 California tax return (was single at that time), but my spouse DID file a 2018 tax return (was also single at the time).
We were wed in 2019, and will now file a federal joint return.
So I take it by your advice the correct answer is "Yes, I filed a California tax return" (better stated as "Did you or your spouse file a 2018 California Tax return?").
It then asks me the clarifying questions.
Thank you so much for making the "right" answer to this question more clear - I appreciate it.
I suppose on the section where "Enter the last name used on your and/or your spouse's 2018 California return. Leave blank if unchanged" - I will leave "Your 2018 last name" blank since I didn't file a 2018 California return?
Thank you!
