"Mortgagte Int Adj total adjusted California interest and/or points cannot be greater than the total interest/points"

I get this weird error on my State Return (California) when I do the State Review check:

 

"Mortgagte Int Adj total adjusted California interest and/or points cannot be greater than the total interest/points"

 

It gives me a field to specify a number: Mortgate Interest Adjustment, Reported on Form 1098 (... line 8a, col C). I put 0 here. After putting 0, I tell it to run the check again and it still returns the same error. 

 

I have no clue what this all means. On my federal return I input a positive numbers for mortgage interest from my 1098 form. This error came up even though I mostly just clicked through the California state return without really modifying anything and just accepting the most common defaults.
