OK, so... Getting further along in doing my CA state return. As mentioned originally above, the first probably in complete pass, it was showing that we may get back 2/3 of what was held out by the Franchise Board a the closing of the home sale.
Fast forward to now, after entering as much info as I can, it's now showing a refund of 100% of what was originally held out!
I'm looking at the 540 NR form, going line by line, and all I can say is, I don't see anything amiss. Not that I understand it that well. (seems California-complicated to me.) At any rate, by the time it gets down to line 103, it shows we overpaid by the full amount held out for Franchise tax.
If anyone might suggest this is normal, I'd be glad to hear it. I had a CA CPA, in passing, tell me that the tax would be refunded, but I didn't believe it (LOL) and I haven't pigeonholed him yet to ask why.
Otherwise, what might I look for in the state return that could cause a miscalculation that presents this kind of result (like a full refund)?
Thanks in advance.
