Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Please see this updated help article regarding how to enter CA Form 593 real estate withholding:

Your California real estate withholding has to be entered on both the state and the federal return.

First, complete your state return. When you reach Take a look at California credits and taxes, select Start next to Real Estate and Other Withholding. Complete this section to enter your information.

Second, go back to your federal return.

1. Select Federal, then Deductions & Credits.
2. On the next screen, select Find tax breaks and answer any following questions until you reach the Your tax breaks screen.
   • Skip this step if you go directly to Let's check for tax breaks.
3. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, select Show More, then select Start or Revisit next to Income taxes paid.
4. On the next screen, select Start next to Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099.
5. Select Yes on the Do you have any tax withholding you haven't entered yet? screen. Enter your real estate withholding information under State Withholdings and select Done when finished.

Make any changes requested in the State Review.

If you are still having issues with the Remitter information, please let us know which version of TurboTax you are using. 

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Online users: 

Go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools. 

1. Then select Tools below Tax Tools. 
2. A window will pop up which says Tools Center.  
3. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent. 
4. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. 
5. Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.  

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop please comment back and I will give you those instructions.
