Thanks for your reply. In short, I over reported W2 income to CA by about $1536. That's what I need to amend. I should owe CA state a little less than my original (incorrect) calculation.
For the record I e-filed both Federal and State on Monday, Feb 23, 2026. Both were accepted minutes later. In Turbotax software, I put March 3, 2026 to direct debit from my checking account.
Would it be better to amend my CA return and submit it now or wait until after April tax deadline?
