My partner and I are registered domestic partners in CA. We individually filed federal tax returns. We then filed a joint CA tax return through FreeTaxUSA, as we read that is what we were supposed to do. However, FreeTaxUSA does not allow the option to unselect sending the federal return. We already sent our separate federal returns so we don’t want it automatically sent by FreeTaxUSA. How do we disable the site from submitting the federal and only submit the CA return? Thanks!

    Never mind. Later on in the filing process you are informed that since you are filing jointly as domestic partners your federal return will not be filed. You are also told that you cannot file the CA state return electronically and have to mail it.
