The types of Regulated Investment Companies are as follows:
ETF(Exchange Traded Fund), REIT(Real Estate Investment Trust, or UIT(Unit Investment Trust)
You would only enter capital gains reported for these specific types of investments in this field in CA.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I can't believe we are the only three people dealing with this. And yet, TT has no one who knows how.
You would not report the amount from Form 1099-B Box 2a under RIC Capital Gains on your California return unless you received additional information that specified the dividends were from an RIC.
Regulated Investment Companies (RIC) include ETF (Exchange Traded Fund), REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust, and UIT (Unit Investment Trust). This list does not include regular capital gains reported on Form 1099-B.
So, to be clear, only capital gains which the investment company explicitly states are from a "RIC" should be entered at this point in the California adjustments section. I have several mutual funds in my portfolio, and the 1099 doesn't mark any as ETFs, REITs or UITs. Up til now, I thought any mutual fund was considered a Regulated Investment Company.
California Publication 1001 includes an explanation of the differences between California and Federal law for Dividend Income.
You would only make an entry in the California Adjustments section in the box for "RIC Capital Gains Distributed (not in federal income)" if you identified that you had a RIC Capital Gains distribution that was not reported on the Federal return but should be on the California return.
According to Pub 1001, California taxes the undistributed capital gain from a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) in the year distributed rather than in the year earned:
If capital gain from a RIC is earned in one year and distributed in a later year, enter the capital gain included in federal income for the year earned on Schedule CA (540), Part I or Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, Section A, line 3, column B and enter the capital gain for the year distributed on Schedule CA (540), Part I or Schedule CA (540NR), Part II, Section A, line 3, column C.
If RIC gains were earned and distributed in the same year, and they were reported on the Federal return, then you would not have a California adjustment to enter in the box for "RIC Capital Gains Distributed (not in federal income)" on the Other Interest and Dividend Adjustments screen in the California interview.
If your Dividend Income included a capital gain distribution for qualified small business stock—RICs, a portion of the gain may be excluded from the Federal return under certain circumstances. See the IRS instructions for Form 1099-DIV for more information.
