State tax filing

Thank You! I really appreciate it!

 

My company has a particular approach for tracking CA travel that uses the Nov 1 - Oct 31 timeframe, rather than Jan 1 - Dec 31 which is the tax year. I traveled 27 days between Jan 1 - Oct 31, and 9 more days after, which is what I've been wondering if I should report or not; My company says the 2025 W2 year will include these 9 days, so it will get tracked eventually.

 

The tax difference is marginal between the two, but I wasn't sure what the recommended approach is. I am leaning on going with the 36 days since I do have a way to support that number -- but would you recommend just sticking to whatever is on the W2 since it will reduce chance of getting flagged/rejected?
