What forms do I use to declare independent contractor income on my 2008 California state taxes?

Hi everyone - Hoping you can help. I'm an independent contractor in California. Federal taxes are totally clear to me, but I'm having trouble with state taxes: I can't find info on which forms I need to attach my California 540 form in order to declare that income that I earned shown on my MISC-1099. For federal: I already filed my 1040, and attached Schedule SE and C-EZ. I already sent in my quarterly taxes using 1040-ES. For California taxes, I already sent in my 540-ES to the franchise tax board for each quarter. But I'm looking at my 540 form and I cannot find state form that are comparable to the federal schedules SE and C-EZ. Where do I declare the income from the 1099-MISC on the California state forms? Thanks so much! Thanks for all of the help everyone -this is great info!

  1. Attach a copy of the C-EZ. Good luck.
  2. Form 540 just takes numbers from 1040 then adds or subtracts a few adjustments from Schedule CA. You don't have to provide a copy of your Forms 1099
  3. your 1099 income is included in your Federal AGI which is what should go on the state form for income. line 13
  4. The info is already figured on the federal and the totals are just moved to the state. You dont do a comparable form.
