@JetfanThat's just it - it doesn't carry over into any particular line on the 540. The AGI listed on my 540 (line 13) is correct, it does not include the $250 donation listed on 1040 line 12b. If @Oxf911 is entering a subtraction, I assume that is showing up on 540 line 14, thus lowering the CA AGI. I don't see how that is correct. But then again, I'm not a tax expert which is why I chose to trust TurboTax to do this for me. Maybe next year I won't need to. 🙂
@Oxf911 Could you verify if your $300 is shown on CA 540 line 14, thus lowering your CA AGI?
Note the comment in https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/re-charitable-deduction-from-california-sta...
The charitable contribution deduction was not allowed in CA for the 2020 filing season. Unless that has changed for 2021, the deduction should not be made on CA. Is the problem that TT is NOT carrying it over? Would need to determine if CA is now allowing it.
