Do I still need to file an amended state tax return if the state fixed the error?

Hi all,

I forgot to include my CA estimated taxes in the return. I used to owe CA money, but CA quickly remedied the issue and sent me a refund check. At this point, do I need to file an amended 540 (Schedule X)?

No, if CA already adjusted your return to account for the missing estimated tax payments, you do not need to file an amended 540 Schedule X.
