DaveF1006:
Thank you for your reply re. paying my "taxes due" and re. Form 1116 (I am not ready to file yet, so no problem waiting until after 3/11).
However, I am still in a quandary re. "our" State (CA) tax for my partner and myself.
- I understand that I will need to file our separate IRS returns - no problem
- But then, what about preparing our joint return for CA? What is the process?
* I remember reading something about building a "fake" joint IRS return, but not to "file it". Do I need to re-enter all of our information into a new file on TurboTax, or is there a way to migrate or copy/paste that information into this new "fake" joint return? FYI, that would be a lot of work!
* Assuming that my understanding of a "fake joint return" is correct, then is that where I would then download the CA tax form (or software) from TurboTax? And then do I e-file our CA joint return?
Thank you. Patrick.
