Thanks for your input. I removed the item on the federal deductions and redid the state. There was no need to report 6 months of nursing home costs on the federal before the person passed away when their income was below the standard deduction limit for the year. I did see the CA 540 form you mentioned when I printed the forms. I did not see it in the list of forms in TT desktop. Perhaps I just missed it. Thanks again for your help
