    Try not entering anything.  Is this entry prompted by a review error?

    If TurboTax is filing in the 0, is must be entered that way on the W-2 Form. Try this to correct it:

    1.  Login to your TurboTax Account and continue your return.
    2. Select Federal on the left
    3.  Under Income & Expenses, the top section will be Job (W-2), click Add/ Edit on the right.
    4.  You will get to a screen that says Here's Your W-2 info, select Edit or the pencil icon to the right  of your W-2 form.
    5. Check box 17, if you have a $0 on a line labeled CA in box 15, clear the box and click Continue to save the change. 
    6. Review the return again.

    I have a similar problem except I am retired and have no W2 forms to enter.  I have selected we have no W2s in the wages section of the Federal forms but TT still tells me that Line 12 on 540NR is incorrect.
