Calif "Senior Head of Household vs. TaxCut

Did my taxes using TaxCut Prem and had the following issues:

  1. No problems with Federal taxes. (A first for me)
  2. There was NO prompt to enter the 2007 Estimated Calif tax paid in the Calif tax forms - I had to enter it under payment with request for extension. (I paid everything before April 15, 07 and filed no extensions). This seemed to work - with a credit in the correct place on the forms.

  1. It is unclear if I may qualify "under Calif tax only" as their "Senior Head of Household Credit" The qualifications that I see are only that you are over 65 and your adjusted gross income is less than ,791 for 07. True for me. The Qualified as Head of Household in 05 or 06 would seem not relevant (I made no such claims then)

I have only supported myself.

DO I QUALIFY for this deduction?

You don't qualify for the credit unless, in 05 or 06, you qualified as head of household under CRTC Sec. 17042 by maintaining a household for a qualified individual who died in 05 or 06. If you were not HOH in

05 or 06, you don't qualify as senior HOH in 07. Cal. Rev. & Tax. Cd. §17054.7.
