It depends. Union Dues fall under the category of Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions. In order to get an itemized deduction for Union Dues, your total California Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions would need to exceed 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income, and then all of your itemized deductions together would need to exceed your standard deduction.
Enter all of your Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions in the Federal return. The information will flow through to the California return and any that exceed the AGI threshold will show as adjustments on Schedule CA.
See the Instructions for California Schedule CA for more information about the differences.
