My wife has been working in FL since 2019 and never moved states. I started working remotely for a CA company in 2021 and they withheld CA tax for 2021 and 2022.
For 2021 and 2022, we filed jointly for Federal and CA (and I got a full refund for CA as I never touched the state). I am worried I should have filed jointly for Federal and Separate for CA (just me). In any case, the refund would have been the same.
In 2023, I moved to CA and my wife stayed in FL (never touched CA). So I think I should file Joint for Federal and then Separate for CA (and I am the only one that needs to file in CA, she doesn't given how I understand the rules).
How do I treat my children (they stayed in FL) and joint investment accounts? What about prior year loss carryovers?
