Get your taxes done using TurboTax

A TurboTax CPA rep was able to help me resolve this.  It turns out that initially entering a cost basis of $0 was the problem.  This generated a CA Schedule D (540) that should only be filled out when the state capital gains/losses are different than the federal.  After I entered the correct cost basis, the D (540) was not automatically removed.  Manually deleting the form fixed the issue.
