How is my California state refund or balance due calculated?

posted

California starts with the federal adjusted gross income. State specific additions and subtractions are applied to get the California taxable income. The tax rate is applied to determine the tax due. Next, any withholding and credits are subtracted to get the final tax due or refunded.
