Deductions & credits

If you entered any type of mortgage interest into the federal section, even though taking the standard, the CA should be giving you the option to adjust the mortgage interest due to CA law difference of an extra $250,000 in qualified mortgage allowed.

Since your page does not show the adjustment, double check that your federal deduction is entered with no issue. You can check in FORMS mode and see if there are any exclamation marks or errors for your return. If there are any, return to step-by-step for that section and go through your entries again.

Once the mortgage interest is in federal, you should have the adjustment for CA showing.
