You are posting in an old cluttered thread from last year. While someone "might" see it here and respond here in this old thread, you'll have greater visibility if you start your own new thread and explain your details there. If you do, then continue to watch both threads.
If you want to start a thread, click the blue "Ask a Question" button at this page:

The question title line has limited space, but there is a box underneath it where you can explain your situation in more detail. In the title line mention Calif. Form 3554 and your issue to attract someone who may be familiar with it.
