Clients registered as REP's for California but did not marry. Do they file as separate for Federal and REP for California?

    RDP is what you mean

    Federal is Single

    CA is RDP/MFJ

    The first return you set up will be your CA return.  MAKE SURE IT IS RIGHT. Before Splitting it, make sure everything is correct.

    Then, split the return to prepare the Federal 1040s for each RDP.

    Registered domestic partners.  Pub 555. This publication is also for registered domestic partners who are domiciled in Nevada, Washington, or California. Registered domestic partners in Nevada, Washington, or California must generally follow state community property laws and report half the combined community income of the individual and his or her registered domestic partner. Registered domestic partners aren't married for federal tax purposes. They can use the single filing status or, if they qualify, the head of household filing status.

    Clients only registered in CA as RDP's but did not marry.  Does that still require them to file CA as RDP/MFS or can they just file separate?  Does community property rules still apply even though they are not married?
