I am a US Citizen who is outside US for whole of 2025
and need to file regular form 1040, which is available in
Turbotax Deluxe 2025 desktop version.
U.S. citizens and residents abroad filing requirements | Internal Revenue Service
1) When I go to State return, it says CA tax= $0 because I lived outside US and
I do not need to file California return!
That is NOT correct. California requires me to file 540NR for my California source income.

2) I clicked on "Get another State" and tried to download California version and
it is charging me another $40, though my Turbotax Deluxe includes 1 free State return!
Clearly this is a bug in Turbotax Deluxe 2025 desktop version.
Turbotax: Please fix this bug soon!
