Many California taxpayers are able to itemize their deductions on their California return, due to the lower standard deduction even though they don't have enough deductions in order to itemize on the Federal return. TurboTax transfers all Schedule A information on the Federal return to the California return in case you can itemize for California.
Schedule CA is used to make adjustments to the federal adjusted gross income and the federal itemized deductions using California law. It lists all of the income and deduction items that are treated differently for California than on the Federal return.
