Well, you could try deleting the 1099-DIV that may be causing most of the mismatch issue.
Then re-enter it manually as two separate 1099-DIV forms.
1) One containing only the CA-exempt $$...tagging it all as CA-only $$
2) and a second one from the same provider....showing what's left as all as Multiple States.

Shouldn't have had to do that.....but without actually sitting at your computer, I'm not sure how to resolve the problem otherwise.
The IRS doesn't care which states the $$ are assigned to.....but it makes a difference for CA
