Disregard above post

Serious error in form 3800. Miscalculates tax on line 18. Says to compare lines 16 and 17 and enter the larger of the two. But then program comes up with huge number not related to either.

After downloading the actual instruction for this form from the FTB website, the massive increase in number is caused by 540NR status of the filer, and the issue is dealt with in another section of that return. Too bad TT doesnt give link to instructions, or any explanation. Tried to delete the post, but dont see easy way to do that.
