Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You may be able to take a deduction or credit in California for a Claim of Right Repayment entry in your Federal return, if the income was originally taxed in CA.
- If you claimed a credit for the repayment on your federal tax return and are deducting the repayment for California, enter the allowable deduction on line 16, column C.
- If you deducted the repayment on your federal tax return and are taking a credit for California, enter the amount of the federal deduction on line 16, column B.
If you choose to take the credit instead of the deduction for California, add the credit amount on line 88, the total payment line, of the Form 540. To the left of the total, write “IRC 1341” and the amount of the credit.
Here's more detailed info from the CA FTB.
