CA client moved to Utah.

Now this wouldn’t be an issue EXCEPT she is an RDP. Hasn’t lived with partner for several years. So, community property: is there none & I file her in UT and partner in CA and it’s all easy peasy, or is there community on the CA person but none on the UT? I feel like I should know this! UT makes all the money, CA makes almost nothing. 
 

my brain shut down too.  Not expected to reopen until May 18.

When did "community" end? Several years ago, you said.

In CA, community ends when the couple splits and has no intention of reconciliation.   It is facts and circumstances, but if they split years ago, community ended years ago.   No issue there for tax reasons.

The real question - and I don't have an answer for it - is there any legal obligations from the Registration of the partnership that needs to be taken care of to let them go their separate ways?   Like a divorce for RDP.    With CA having same sex marriage for years, I never thought about the RDP and how that resolves itself in the state now.

They’ve been keeping the partnership for tax reasons and health insurance..
