If using desktop software, to see what method(s) TurboTax is using to calculate your tax, go into Forms Mode and pull up the Form 1040 Worksheet.   Scroll down to between Lines 15 and 16 of that worksheet and you will see a Tax Smart Worksheet.   It will show the method(s) it used to calculate your tax.

Do you mean the Tax Computation Worksheet?  That is a behind-the-scenes calculation in TurboTax and is not used for everyone, depending on the specific situations in your return.  If you want to look at it for manual use, it's in the Instructions to Form 1040. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf   What is the context for your question.?   Often the tax calculation in TurboTax is not taken strictly from that worksheet.    Some calculations involve the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains Tax Worksheet, the IRS Tax Tables, and other calculations depending on the specific forms in your return.      You may first wish to see what methods TurboTax is using to calculate your tax.  We can tell you how to find that out.   Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop TurboTax?

Thank you for the response. I am using turbo tax online and I see different amount of prior year depreciation for my rental property on federal and CA return. I checked and confirmed that the amount shown on federal return is correct. How do I modify the prior year depreciation amount on CA state return?

Thank you for your response. I was able to file successfully. My problem was caused by the 1099-R that had box 16 blank. It should have been the same amount as box 1 (Gross Distribution). Once I entered the amount in the highlighted error displayed in my Turbo Tax filing there were no further obstacles to completion.

Yes, if you originally claimed yourself as not being a dependent on somebody else's tax return, you can amend it to indicate that you can; however, the other person can't claim you and E-file until your amended return is fully processed by the IRS.  Their return will be rejected.   They can mail it, but it'll result in a letter from the IRS to both you requesting information regarding your filing status.  (Yo should still do the amended return).   TurboTax will be available to process amended returns for 2025 in late February of 2026.   TurboTax provides a list of Tax form availability ‌for individual Federal and State returns forms that are‌ being revised.
