Question

2025 CA 540 form Line 72

Why does my 2025 TT Premier "Wages & Income" summary's "State and Local Tax Refunds on Form 1099-G" line show "Available now" and not my prior year's CA state tax refund amount even after my "Update" of this section?

 

For 2025 CA 540 form Line 72 (2025 California estimated tax and other payments), our prior year 's CA tax refund was added to estimated taxes paid, is this correct? My 2025 CA voucher 1 was $1,500, voucher 2 was $1,530, additional voucher 2 was $470 , voucher 3 was $0, and voucher 4 was $1,500. All 2025 CA vouchers totaled to $5,000. Prior year CA refund was $13,307 (received a physical check from FTB in 2025, with some added interest). Prior year federal return had standard deduction and prior year state return had itemized deductions. So, Line 72 now shows a whopping $18,307 payment. Is this correct?

 

I sense that something is wrong with the TT software.

    Please ignore my question.  I found that I can revert my prior year CA refund to not apply to 2025.  Then the whole state tax situation changed.  Looks more correct now.  The change I made was on the fed deductions and credits section.
