Investors & landlords

First, be aware that I know nothing about CA state taxes (which is what I assume you're dealing with here, since the 3885A is a California form.)

You may need to check things on the federal tax return first. In most cases the state return imports it's data from the federal return. I do not know if the CA state return imports the depreciation information from the federal return, or not.

It may also help someone who is more familiar with the CA state return to help you, if they know if your investment is passive (SCH E asset) or non-passive (SCH C asset).
