State tax filing

Thanks for the information. All of approximately $9,000 from the 529 plan was spent on my son's college tuition. He also worked 20-30 hours a week during the school year, so he made quite a bit of money. His 529 Plan somehow made extremely good returns, so we invested about $4,000 and Turbotax is counting the $5,000 that was reported on the 1099-Q as "unearned income". As I understand it that's because he made a lot of money this year but was still our dependent. I'm just really frustrated with the California forms and I may end up just filing by hand, as I can't seem to find a workaround to California wanting my California tax return when I am no a Califonia resident, did not earn money there and will not be filing taxes there.
