I kinda of see what your saying. I really don't need to exclude any on federal as I don't qualify for much of anything as there is no other income. If I can exclude some of the payments and not the full amount on CA return I can qualify for CA EITC. However if I add all of the exemption I go over the limits set. Hence why I'm asking do I have to add all payments to CA. As the website was vauge if it's all or some for CA returns.
