ReadyReturn is a free service developed by California Government (FTB) to make filing individual income tax returns easier. It uses information the state already has from the last return you filed and from your Form W-2 to pre-fill a California state tax return.
If you are single and your income is only from wages, you may qualify for ReadyReturn. It simplifies the filing process by pre-filling a tax return with information the state already has.
