Enter your pension income shown on Form 1099-R in the Federal section of TurboTax. See this help article.    Then, when you complete your Colorado return, you will be presented with questions about income items that are treated differently for Colorado. TurboTax will calculate any Subtractions from Income for Colorado based on your entries and answers to the questions.   Individuals may be allowed to claim a subtraction on their Colorado Individual Income Tax Return for pension and annuity income included in their federal taxable income. Qualifying individuals may claim a subtraction on the Subtractions from Income Schedule (DR 104AD) (opens in new window) for pension and annuity income included in their federal adjusted gross income.   The Colorado subtraction is generally allowed only to individuals age 55 or older but may also be claimed by individuals under age 55 for pension and annuity income they receive as a death benefit. The subtraction is generally limited to $20,000 each year or, for individuals age 65 or older, $24,000. In the case of joint filers, the subtraction is allowed separately to each taxpayer included in the joint return.      

@LenaH  Also, your response will be applicable if you are using the same portion of the house for 2 different Schedule C.  In that case the same 33% is used for both business.  So, overall use of home is 33%.  In this case, you will need to split the property tax for 2 Sch Cs.  So, the overall deduction is still 33% and you are not double dipping.  However, in @marc1974  case, there are 2 different areas.   May be this is the issue causing error in Turbo tax where it is adding all the property tax entered in form 8829 assuming all schedule C are using same part of the house.   In either case, the SALT does not apply for Sch C.

@WriteOffWarrior , your understanding is generally correct in that  form 1116 needs  to  have directly or otherwise  collect the total foreign source income --- generally by country  ( often the case for  passive  foreign incomes ). It should then be able to  compute the applicable  ratio of  foreign source income to world income and  use this to allocate  US taxes for each foreign source income. If you are comfortable working in the forms mode ( and  for me the easiest way )  , just use the  "1116 Comp Wks".  This worksheet allows you to enter / edit   amounts which then flow to the  actual  " form 1116  ( Copy 1)".  Use only the entry items  and not the computed ones.  You should be quite safe.  However, just to be extra careful. I would suggest saving your return first  ( save as with a different name ) , then open the original and work with that.  If things go wrong , delete this working copy and use the saved version -- which has a different  name  but represents the original.   Good Luck. Is there more I can do for you ?

Also at issue is that there are AGI limits on taking this exclusion.  FTB publications are worthless on the topic and refer you to California Income and Tax Code Section 17132.9 and 17132.10.  I have quoted section17132.9 below for your reference (but recommend you read them for yourself): (1) “Qualified taxpayer” means a taxpayer that satisfies either of the following:   (A) In the case of a surviving spouse or spouses filing a joint return, adjusted gross income, as required to be shown on the federal tax return for the same taxable year, does not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).   (B) In the case of any other individual, adjusted gross income, as required to be shown on the federal tax return for the same taxable year, does not exceed one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000).  

Unfortunately not.  The 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid doesn't qualify for the federal Clean Vehicle Tax Credit. It's a standard hybrid, not a plug-in hybrid, and  Doesn't meet the strict North American assembly and battery component requirements.
