California Form 3514 is the Earned Income Credit form. If you may qualify for Earned Income Credit, and you have any income on your Federal return on Schedule 1, Line 3 (Business income or loss), this may be what the program is asking about.
If you inadvertently started to complete a Schedule C or mistakenly entered other income that populated Schedule 1, Line 3 and then removed it, you could try deleting those forms to correct the error. If you do have a Schedule C, make sure there is a business code entered.
To delete a form in TurboTax Online:
- Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
- In the left menu, select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools".
- In the pop-up window Tool Center, select "Delete a form".
- Select "Delete" next to " " (name of form from the list that appears) and follow the instructions.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, try deleting the entire California return and then adding it back/preparing it again. In TurboTax Online, you can click the trash can icon next to the Edit button on the line showing the state's name.
Then, see if that 3514 form still appears as a form in your California return. To see your list of forms, go to tax tools>tools>delete a form. Check to see if the 3514 is there, along with any Federal earned income credit forms and delete them as well.
