For CA 540, If I do not qualify for CA EIC, why is the program asking me to fix form 3514?

California Form 3514 is used to calculate your California earned income tax credit. It may be populated because you have a federal earned income credit. If you are sure you don't qualify for the state tax credit, you can try deleting the form and that may resolve your issue as follows:

 

  Follow these instructions:

 

1. Choose the Tax Tools option on your left menu bar

2. Choose Tools

3. Choose the Delete a form option under Other Helpful links 

4. Look for Form 3514 in the list of form and click on the option to delete it
