CA Prorated Exemption Credits value incorrectly filled in 540NR form.

[ayushr2]

Line 39 in California 540NR form says "Multiply line 11 by line 38."
line 11 is $129
line 38 is 0.4402.

But the result on line 39 is $9.

Your credit amount may be limited by your federal adjusted gross income.  

The exemption credit amount on line 39 will be limited when the adjusted gross income on your federal tax return is more than

• $212,288 and your filing status is single or married/RDP filing separately; 
• $424,581 and your filing status is married/RDP filing jointly or qualifying widow(er); or, 
• $318,437 and your filing status is Head of household.

Figures are for tax year 2021.

Please see the California Form 540NR Instructions, available at Forms and Publications Search for more information.  

If this AGI scenario isn’t the case with your return, please provide additional details.

Thank you so much, that answers my question. Yes this AGI scenario does apply to me and when I did the calculations using AGI Limitation Worksheet, it worked out correctly to be $9.
