Business & farm

Thank you, but as you know, I currently have two federal returns—one prepared for California and another for Virginia—with different numbers. However, in the end, only one federal return should be filed with the IRS. How should I handle this?

When California reviews its return, it will notice that the federal numbers are different from the California numbers. Also, I believe the 183-day rule applies to individuals, not corporations.

How do I notify California that this is a short-period (part-year) return, however in CA return time of activity is clear, while the federal return covers the full tax year?
