State tax filing

Thanks, 

But I have a question:  

When on the income allocation screen, I will enter California income as 0.  This should prompt the return of the withholding that took place at the beginning of the year. This is happening now.

My question is:

#1. Entering California income 0 is correct? ( bacause box 16 on W2 has amount) . It will be a mismatch on box16 and box 17 and may not match W2 information with FTB or IRS and may trigger AUDIT?  Is this CORRECT to enter 0 as California income? Please clarify this and suggest if it may not trigger audit.

#2. OR should I ask my employer to correct W2, which they may not do as payroll update takes 3-4 weeks anyway.

 

Please suggest if I may proceed with #1 without inviting audit.

 

Thanks. 

Ravi
