Finally got through this. But was not easy. And of course no help from TT.
I started by going to the forms view (upper right corner of TT)
Go to form 593, and verify line 36 has correct withheld amount
Go to form 540, and find the "Form 540 California Income Tax Withheld Smart Worksheet" (right above line 71)
Make sure item B in the window is the value from Form 593, line 36. If not, use Ctrl-D to override & correct. (also verify item A has total of all other taxes withheld).
You should now see the form 593, line 36 value in line 73 on form 540. (and the correct amount in line 71)
Return to step-by-step & run review.
