California Form 540NR is the state income tax return for nonresidents and part-year residents. Nonresidents file if they earned income from California sources during the tax year. Part-year residents file if they lived in California for part of the year. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) administers this form.
The form covers several key sections. First, report your filing status and personal exemptions. Then report all income from California sources, including wages, business income, and capital gains. Next, calculate your California Adjusted Gross Income. You can claim deductions and credits to lower your tax liability. Your federal return information is also required to complete the California tax calculation.
The California income tax return is due April 15 each year. If you need more time to file, use Form FTB 3519 for an extension. You must still pay any California income tax owed by April 15 to avoid penalties. The FTB accepts electronic filing through certified tax software. You can also mail your completed return directly to the Franchise Tax Board in Sacramento.
