Married/RDP filing jointly.
California treats registered domestic partners as spouses for state tax purposes, so they cannot file as single. Filing jointly is generally most favorable (lower tax rates, higher deductions/credits), though in rare situations (separate liability, large medical expenses, etc.) married/RDP filing separately might be chosen.
