your answer is very helpful for me. I now have a related problem. My federal tax is right. For my California tax return I should have got a refund of $2000 but I paid $700 earlier as TurboTax did not transfer my prior year rental loss through in my state return.
Now I need to amend the return. I have $2000 refund on the 540X, and $2700 on the X form as I should get the refund of the $700 I wrongly paid as well. The California tax bureau said the amount on X form should be carried over to 540 line 116/117. But TurboTax does not do it, and as those are calculated numbers, I cannot type them in, what do you recommend?
