Thank you. This is very helpful. I am still confused by some things. In 2021 and 2022 when my employer withheld CA taxes when I was residing in FL, I filed (by mistake) MFJ in CA even though I could have done MFS as my spouse never touched CA nor had any CA income or CA employer. So my concern is for 2023, when I moved to CA (she stayed in FL), should I do MFJ or MFS? Per the rules it seems I can do MFS and she doesn't have to file, but it might be the same as FL is not Community Property State.
When I filed prior years with CA (got full refund), I had loss carryovers from investments. Now that I become a CA resident, can I use those carryovers or not because they were generated outside of CA?
Lastly, I don't have a permanent address in CA. Can I use our FL address for both Federal and State returns? I travel back and forth (but spent >6 months in CA in 2023)
