State tax filing

Yes, California (and the IRS) looks at your marital status on December 31st regardless of when you were married and applies it t the entire year.  You are able to sort and classify the income through the year.  It would be easier (and possible) to use the dates (because you do have to enter them and they are reported on the CA tax return), but they do not allow this currently.  @kanishkt
