State tax filing

Dear @MonikaK1 MonikaK1,

 

I removed my CA Form 593.

 

I made sure to start by entering the withholding on my Federal return.

 

I then followed the instructions to make a new CA entry, which created a new CA Form 593.

 

As soon as as I was done with the new form 593 and hit Continue, I received this message:

 

Tax Withheld

It doesn't appear that the real estate or other withholding you've entered here has been entered on your federal return.

Entering this withholding could increase your refund or reduce the tax you owe on your federal return.

To return to where you'd enter this on your federal return, click on "Search Topics" at the top of the screen, enter tax payments and select OK.

Enter it as "Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099".

Note: Don't enter withholding that has already been reported elsewhere on your federal return.

 

And AGAIN, the withholding is showing up on Form 540 in both line 71 and line 73.

 

On the Federal 'Tax Payments Worksheet' the state withholding is on Line 18 b and shows St = CA
Is that where it is expected to be?

I really need to fix this Today.
Is there a Federal Form I can delete and recreate?  I don't want to have to delete the Federal 'Tax Payments Worksheet' but I will if I have to.
