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:
