Каковы особые требования к подаче налоговой декларации для лиц, которые в течение налогового года переехали в штат Калифорния или выехали из него?

If you moved into or out of California during the tax year, you are considered a part-year resident and must file a specific state tax return to report income earned while you were a resident and income from California sources. Here are the steps to correctly file your California part-year resident taxes: Step 1: Determine Your Part-Year Residency Period Identify the exact dates you were a California resident. Your residency period begins the day you arrive in California with the intent to stay and ends the day you leave California with the intent to reside elsewhere. Keep records of your move, such as travel receipts or lease agreements. Step 2: Gather All Required Income Documents Collect all your income statements for the entire year, including W-2s, 1099s, and K-1s, regardless of which state you were in when you earned the income. You will need your total worldwide income to correctly calculate your California tax liability. Step 3: Use the Correct Tax Form You must file the California Part-Year Resident or Nonresident Income Tax Return (Form 540NR). Do not use the standard Form 540 for full-year residents. You can download this form and its instructions from the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) website at ftb.ca.gov. Step 4: Allocate Your Income You must separate your income into two categories on Schedule CA (540NR). First, report all income you received from all sources while you were a California resident. Second, report only the income you received from California sources (e.g., a California job, rental property, or business) during the time you were a non-resident. Step 5: File by the Deadline File your completed Form 540NR and pay any tax due by April 15th, or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday. If you need more time, you can file for an extension, but you must still pay any estimated tax owed by the original deadline to avoid penalties. Important details and nuances: California calculates your tax by first determining the tax on your total worldwide income for the entire year. It then applies a ratio based on your California-source income versus your total income to find your final tax liability. This means even non-California income can influence the tax rate applied to your California income. Warnings and limitations: Determining residency can be complex and is a common reason for audits by the FTB. Factors like where your family lives, where you are registered to vote, and where you hold a driver's license can impact your residency status. Failing to properly allocate income can lead to significant penalties and interest. This is general information and does not constitute legal advice. For complex situations, such as those involving business income, stock options, or significant assets, you should consult with a qualified California tax professional or attorney.
