California CA Schedule 540NR Issue
Hi,
Writing in because I am having an issue with my California Tax return. On my return the Schedule CA 540NR does not have line 4 filled out "I became a CA nonresident (enter new state of residence and date (mm/dd/yyyy) of move" despite me answering the questions which indicated that I became a California non resident in 2019.
Answers for my residency interview:
Did you become a California resident during 2019? No
Did you become a California nonresident during 2019? Yes
Were you a California nonresident during all of 2019? No
Were you a California resident before 2019? Yes
Did you enter California before 2019? Yes
Did you leave California before 2019? No
It could be assumed that answering yes to the second question would result in it prompting to report the date of move and new state for line 4 on CA 540NR however it does not and this line is empty when I preview the full return prior to filing.
I believe this is a serious bug that will impact my return if I file it as is. However I have had no traction reaching out to Intuit via any other means. Speaking over the phone got me nowhere other than reps reassuring me they guarantee accuracy.
This is INSANE, because if you reference the instructions for Schedule CA 540NR is is extremely clear that line 4 in my case MUST be filled out.
I have already paid for their state product. If I knew such a serious discrepancy would occur I would have filed on my own and reduced the hassle experienced.
Is there any other avenue for reporting what seems to be a very serious bug in their CA return?
