Thanks @CatinaT1
Yes, I did not pay income tax for the amount in California, and I claimed the CalEITC. The return was accepted.
My main concern is the altered W-2 forms, but it sounds like it's okay. For my 2021 return, the California FTB website shows this altered W-2 form as part of the return. I imagine 2022 will show the same. Also, it sounds like California 540 Line 12 should NOT include nontaxable IHSS payments that weren't in W-2 Box 16, but it's okay if it did.
