How do I report a bug in the underpayment penalty calculation for CA?

I entered all my tax info and TT said that I had a $25 penalty for underpayment of California taxes. Then it asked if I would like to enter more info to see if the penalty could be waived, I clicked Yes.

It then asked for a my AGI by quarter (AGI is non-trivial so I skipped it). It asked for another number by quarter (income maybe?) that I didn't have either. Finally it asked for my withholding by quarter, that I had.

After entering it TT said, sorry, you still own an underpayment penalty of $293.

Whoa! So I went back, back, back, to the beginning and tried again.

After entering the info again TT said, sorry, you still own an underpayment penalty of $464.

I went back and clicked the box to let California calculate the penalty and bill me.

Needless to say, I think there's something wrong here.
