Hiya Californians, I have a couple of questions regarding tax return in CA. Trying to help out the parents here.

* Does everyone fill out the “schedule CA” thingy? Why/what is that all about.. Why can’t it be just the 540 alone?

* Do I have to make a photocopy of their 1040 forms and send that along with the state tax return forms? (Some states require that)

Thanks so much!!!
