That is done automatically on 540 schedule CA. The taxable amount of SS on 1040 Line 5b will be subtracted.

See CA 540 sch CA line 5 https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2018/18_540ca.pdf

I made 2 screen shots for SS and CA.

Federal 1040 showing taxable amount and California 540 (CA) showing it being subtracted out
