Hi - thank you for your help on this.
This is the error I am getting: "The return is ineligible for electronic filing. If the amount of Fed Net Inc/Loss from Schedule E activities on Form 3801 doesn't equal the Federal amount of Rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, S corporations, trusts, etc. on Schedule CA (540/540NR), then the return must be printed and mailed."
The Form 3801 (page 2, column D) states that it should have Federal amount before passive loss adjustments. The Schedule CA (column A, section B, Line 5) is the Federal amount after passive loss adjustments. These amounts won't ever tie because of passive losses.
I am assuming these two numbers are the issues causing the diagnostic, but I can't view my state return since I have to e-file my Federal first (which I am not ready to do yet).
