State tax filing

Very interesting.  Known issue but no workaround?  If you do a paper return, copying the additional income from 1040 Sch 1 to Sch CA540 or 540NR is trivial.  So how come this is so difficult to fix? Unbelievable.

I bought an envelope and stamp and filled out CA540 manually.  Like you, first time doing a paper return in 20 years.
