It appears all I need are CA 540, any schedules changed, and Schedule X.  Does IRS need to know I am adjusting my CA income section?   Does it need any forms filled and submitted?  I just discovered my  foreign Social Security Survivor benefit from my Foreign father due to his services in gov sponsored  healthcare facilities is taxable in CA despite it is not being taxable by IRS due to a taxation treaty.

    Yes, you can amend your California State tax return only, as long as the changes only affect your state tax liability.  You do not have to inform the IRS.
