Thanks for the quick and detailed response.
I was surprised because this is never happened to me and I have been using TurboTax since 1999. Besides, there was no heads up in the TurboTax dialog boxes about potentially seeing a different tax penalty amount, but I could be wrong.
As for the CA SDI, again, I use TurboTax to guide me. If any of the conditions are not applicable, I expect TurboTax to show me that information so if nothing else, I would not be surprised when FTB comes back with a different calculation.
