Form 540 2EZ is one of two California Income Tax Forms used by California full-year residents. The other California Income Form used by full-year residents is Form 540.

No adjustments to total income.
You only use standard deduction.
Your payments are only California income tax withheld shown on Form(s) W-2 and 1099-R.
Your exemptions are:
