I entered my State of California estimated tax payments in the proper place in the Federal section. This data did not transfer to the California Form 540 section and TurboTax calculated that I am liable for a large tax payment. I then put the same estimated payments into the State worksheet, and this effort corrected the Form 540 statement, however TurboTax still thinks I need to pay some money due to underpayment of estimated taxes. Two questions: (1) why didn't the estimated payments automatically transfer?
(2) why is Turbotax still showing the need for an underpayment penalty when the Form 540 shows I have fulfilled the estimated tax requirement?
