Ok I entered a 1099R with CA withholding and it showed up on my 540 line 71. As I said for W2, delete the 1099R and enter it again Manually. Are you just watching the meter at the top or on the actual 540 form? Make sure to fill out all 4 boxes for the State Information at the bottom of the 1099R entry screen. Check the State ID for box 15.
