Did you enter Calif withholding from a Form 592-B or 593?
Then here's the proper way to enter a Calif Form 592-B or 593. Don't duplicate anything you've already done:
Enter the Calif tax on Form 592-B/593 in the federal return so that the withholding can be included in your federal itemized deductions. TT/Calif will pick it up from there.
Federal Taxes tab (this is the Deluxe version path, SE version should be similar)
Deductions and Credits
I'll choose what I work on
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Select Other Income Taxes
Under Other Income Taxes Paid in 2018 is
Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099
Enter the $$ withheld in the State box (round to nearest dollar - don't enter pennies) and select California from the dropdown
In TT/Calif click through until you get to the screen Take a look at California credits and taxes, under Payments and withholding select Real Estate and Other Withholding. Check the 592-B or 593 Box and you will be shown an image of the form to input the data for electronic filing. This will "sync up" the "other withholding" coming from the federal return and treat it properly on the Calif return.
I agree there is a problem. When you enter CA withholding from the W2-G, it gets duplicated on the 592-B, which California says should be attached.
I already filed federal, but not state because I was still proofreading. If the program won’t be fixed in the next week or two, I can delete the amount from one of the other, but which? I’m thinking zero it on the W2-G for state.
But from discussion, is my federal going to be messed up? If so, wrong if I zero it or wrong the way I submitted it?
On a different note, have I interpreted correctly that as long as you’re a full time CA resident, you can carry over capital losses from last year by entering them as an adjustment? I was surprised Turbo Tax didn’t seem to do that directly from federal.
Are you still experiencing this problem?
