State tax filing

OK I turned on my program.  I see what's happening.  Up on 540 CA line 7 it is adding back to the federal AGI the WHOLE unemployment amount.  I had entered 13,000 unemployment.  But the Federal AGI only included the difference of 2,800 (13,000-10,200) so CA has to add in the 10,200 to the federal AGI to make it match the total 13,000 it excluded on line 7. 

 

Just the way for CA to show all the amounts on CA.  Federal AGI only included the 2,800 so CA is excluding 2,800 from federal.   By first excluding the full 13,000, then they have to add back in the 10,200.
