Often, when you want to change an entry on the state return, you need to do it on the federal return so the data will flow down to the state.
When you say "Business Summary", are you referring to the screen with this name in the California interview? This screen is using the business type that you gave it on your Schedule C on the federal return. If this is the case, why would you put "retired" as your principal business?
Are you referring to an "occupation" on the California return? If so, what form and what line?
And, finally, if you are referring to "Occupation", you understand that it does not matter what you enter - there is no wrong answer.
