UPDATE: As of about 6 days ago, the software updated so you can delete the form without it auto populating. I've been curious as to why that has to be like that though. My research has yielded the following.
1) 1099-MISC is somehow being accepted on Federal form as a proper 1099-MISC, but when it transfers to California 540, it magically becomes a personal business income instead.
2)Following the guide on https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2019/2019-3514-instructions.html , Work through to find out if I am under 30k, single, no child, etc, they qualify, BUT the calculations for EITC 3514 NEGLECTED to add input for 1099-MISC. Not exactly TurboTax fault, but more FTB oversight.
I've debated manually re-doing the entire packet using the FTB online PDF forms, using the TurboTax as a template, but punching the 1099-MISC as other income somehow. The difference is about $40 bucks for me to just forgo the credit, so I might just let CA keep that money to save my gray hairs.
Please let me know anybody if they figure out how to get the Credit if they are plagued by the 1099 MISC!
