Wow, thanks for responding so quickly! I think I see the mistake I made. I went back and looked, and there is a question early on about her income. Indeed, I answered it incorrectly. I believe that, at the time, I thought that her military pension was not taxable (like social security).
Still, there must have been some other point in which I entered her actual income -- as it clearly shows on the return I sent to California. I'd think that during TurboTax's review phase it would have caught the discrepancy and said something to me before letting me file.
You're right though -- next year I'll know and will file her independently.
Thanks!
