MFS California High Income Earnerrs

Level 2

Does anybody know the rough numbers on where it makes financial sense to MFS for high-income earners in California?  Also, how do I have ProSeries know that California is a Community Property State? It does not seem to split out the income 50/50.

I know how to split everything on the Federal side, but I am not confident with CA yet. thoughts/help???

If you clicked the link, you would read that Basic does not have the "worksheet" found in Professional. So, that means you have a Worksheet. Did you use it?

The Article Search here is very limited; sometimes any result is a useful result, as it gives you the info that leads to what you want or has other links inside of it. I use keywords, not product, search and scan the results:

yes, I've seen all these.

 

My question is asking about community property states specifically. The worksheets do not split the income 50/50 per requirements.

 

I am also asking people if they know what level of income for CA taxpayers usually triggers a benefit to file MFS.

Did you get any answers about ProSeries splitting MFJ into MFS in Community Property states? I have the same need. The worksheets don't split the income 50/50 as per the requirements. Thank you.
