Why I dont to file California state

[fueledbymusic]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Hello all.

I have a question about this subject

(Yeah I LEFT a word out in the TITLE. Its supposed to read "Why I Don't Need To File California State?)

I used a Taxcut program to do my taxes on my computer. Every year I always get money back from the state. Typically in the hundreds.

When I did the federal and finished. I want to do state. Then program tells me. "Based on what you told us on the federal interview, I DONT need to file a state"

WHY is this? I would not want to skip the state if I always get a refund.

Did the tax law change??? Is it something I wont be able to do?

Did you have California state withholding?
Perhaps you entered something WRONG on the federal questions (like perhaps listing some other state)?

What did the TaxCut tech support people say when you asked them about the result?
