State tax filing

Really pathetic that the turbo tax so called experts dont have a clue what they are talking about and even worse is that they are giving wrong answers and messing up people's returns. 

Line 6 is what was carried forward from 2019 return looking at 2020 return. 2020 return itself might have a profit/loss which after reconciling with number from 2019 carryforward maybe a positive number (for which you pay tax) or a negative number so that when you go to 2021, the negative number from 2019 added to negative number from 2020 will be the california capital loss carryover.

 

It is surprising and rather disappointing that turbotax 2021 again does not provide a line number where this entry is needed which it should just like it does for line numbers on a federal return.

 

Turbotax needs to give a definitive reply to this query.
