Thank you. The diagnostic file confirms that the charitable contributions entered are included in the total itemized deductions for California.
In Part II of Schedule CA:
Line 17, Column A, includes the charitable contributions entered plus the taxes that would have been allowable on the Federal return.
Line 17, Column B, shows the state income taxes that aren't allowable as a California itemized deduction.
Line 17, Column C, shows the taxes that weren't allowed on the Federal return due to the State and Local Tax (SALT) limitation.
The total California itemized deductions allowed, which are the total of Line 17A less Line 17B plus Line 17C, are shown on Line 18 of Schedule CA Part II and on Line 18 of the California Form 540.
