Turbotax did not carry over my Federal Misc/Other Income loss to California State for my 2021 taxes, even though it displayed the correct State Refund amount.
CA State gave me a code BG, and automatically adjusted my refund and reduced it.
Example:
Other income loss: $1,000.
Federal AGI: $10,000.
Part 1, Section B, Line 10 of my 2021 Schedule CA stated my Federal adjusted gross income was $11,000. No subtractions were listed in Column B of my Schedule CA, so there was nothing to deduct which resulted in my California adjusted gross income of $11,000. It should have been $10,000 AGI with the other income loss of $1,000, which would have matched Federal.
My form 540 has the correct Federal AGI of $10,000.
When I go back and manually input the $1,000 loss in my other income for CA, it increases my return amount, which isn't correct.
How do I fix this and how do I amend my return? Can i file it electronically or do I have to mail it in. I only need to amend my state return. Federal is fine.
