PDF Editor FAQ
What can happen to me if I mistakenly file a resident state tax return form 540 in California instead of a non-resident form 540NR?
You might find it hard to convince California that you are a non-resident in future years. And given that state's aggressive taxing scheme, it's not worth any short-term convenience now.
What is the income tax rate on a 100k salary in San Francisco?
You don't say whether your single, married or head or household, so I can't give you an exact number.There is no San Francisco income tax return for you to file, but since you're in California, you will have to file a California state income tax return, Form 540, with the Franchise Tax Board.The tax rate tables are here.2014 California Tax Rates and ExemptionsAlso, keep in mind that your 'taxable' income should be applied to these tables, not your gross salary.
Can you deduct sales tax from your California state income tax?
I am assuming you are talking about a personal income tax return (Form 540) and sales taxes you paid during the year. Your question wasn’t phased very clearly.This is how it works.When you prepare your federal return, if you itemize your deductions (Schedule A), you may deduct 1) state income tax paid (California, in your case) or 2) general sales tax you paid, whichever is greater (but not both).When you prepare you California state income tax return, you may use your federal itemized deductions. However, the amount you deducted for federal purposes are going to be adjusted by certain items which are not deductible for California income tax purposes. One of those items is sales taxes you paid.This is the appropriate place to look on your California return Form 540 (Part II, Adjustments to Federal Itemized Deductions). Line 38 is your federal itemized deductions, as described above. Line 39 is where you must now subtract any sales tax you claimed as a federal deduction, if that was the case. If the state income tax you claimed as a deduction on your federal return was greater than your sales tax you paid, then you’ll enter the state income tax paid.Either way you slice it, the bottom line and answer to your question is no, sales taxes you paid cannot be deducted for California income tax purposes.I hope that wasn’t too confusing.
