@mslatinlady the $300 is a new deduction this year, Turbo Tax is applying it correctly. FTB's CalFile, does not have an entry to account for this $300, although the instructions for the Schedule CA clearly says that it must be added back into your gross income. CalFile does not ask for information from the Schedule CA, it asks for information from the 1040A. In this case CalFile is incorrect in not allowing an entry to compensate for the new $300 IRS deduction.
If someone doesn't claim the $300 with the IRS then CalFile will probably work just fine for their taxes, but you get more money back in the long run with the IRS deduction.
