The needs review shows as a reminder that the "Job Related Expenses" you entered on your federal return will not be entered on your federal return. This is occurring because job-related expenses are not allowed for W-2 earners. However, many states (California included) allow the deduction and the expenses are moved from the federal return to the state return. The needs review does not prevent e-filing and only stands as a reminder that the information will not be included on your federal return. If this step was excluded then many individuals may assume the information is being included on their federal return and become confused as to why their return wasn't filed with the "Job Related Expenses" on their return.
