State tax filing

The California Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet can be opened by viewing forms and clicking on Open Form. Scroll down to Schedule D: California Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment. Expand that line by clicking on the + to the left of the line and the worksheet will be available.

The worksheet does not work for me without overriding each line, but that may be because I have no California Capital Loss Carryover. This was not apparent until I went through the calculations. 

These same instructions are available at https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2020/2020-540-d-instructions.html
