Sorry, this still did not work. I followed the directions for deleting my state tax forms (BTW, I am using MacOS Desktop Home & Business, not the online version so your link did not make sense. I searched and found a similar link for Windows desktop and followed those directions.) I deleted the state forms and then went through the process of doing the CA state taxes again. The information from my 2015 returns was not transferred to the CA state taxes, but the information from my 2016 federal return was transferred. There was some information that I had to provide that should have been carried over from 2015, and when I went to the CA return's Two-Year Comparison form, no information was included from 2015.
I still assert that this is a problem, regardless of the fix from several weeks ago, and I am still looking for an answer.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that anyone can provide.
