On the California questionaire, Turbotax asks about dependents not qualifying under federal rules. I entered data for my 24 year old daughter who is no longer a student (so doesn't qualify for CA either). How do I get her off of the CA return? I can't find a way to undo my answer.
Thanks-

You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You will need to make your entries in the state interview section of the program.
You will then see the screen listing your dependents as claimed on your California return. The screen will be titled Here's what we have for your dependents so far. Be sure to select the trash can and Delete to remove your dependent that is only claimed on your state return here.
Hi-
The trouble is, when I hit the "State Taxes" tab, it goes to ""Let's work on your state return". When I hit "continue", it goes to "Your State Returns", which does show "California" with an "edit" option.
Unfortunately, the " edit" option bypasses the "Do you have a dependent..." and goes straight to "Here's the income that California handles differently".
Thanks again-
Steve
Found it.
The trick is to go to the "State Interview" page. That page says "Your 2020 taxes are ready for us to check". There is then a "General Info" area with an edit button. After a couple of screens, that one gets you to the "Do you have a dependent you didn't claim on your federal return" page. After that, the suggested instructions work like a charm.
Thanks for your help-
Steve
