Deductions & credits

@Bend371 --

 

From the instructions for California Schedule CA (540), Part II, Line 5e:

 

Line 5e – The federal deduction for state and local tax is limited to $10,000 ($5,000 for married filing separate) for the aggregate of state and local income taxes and property taxes. California does not conform. If your deduction was limited under federal law, enter an adjustment on line 5e, column C for the amount over the federal limit.

Note: Add back only the federally disallowed property tax amount.  You cannot deduct CA state income tax on a CA return.
