I DONT UNDERSTAND WHERE TO FIND SCHEDULE A LINE 5 ON LAST YEARS CALIFORNIA TAXES

[peedthebed]

IS IT SCHEDULE 540?  IF SO THERE IS NO LINE 5.  FORM STARTS @ LINE 7

[TerryA · Accepted solution]

California doesn't have a Schedule A - that's the federal Itemized Deductions. The Sch A line 5 State and local income tax deduction isn't necessarily the same number as the Form 540 taxes withheld and/or paid on lines 71-73.
