Home & Business desktop edition is broken with California state taxes

I am a resident of Texas and am filing a California return as an independent contractor. However, this version of TurboTax neither imports the information from the federal filing nor provides a screen to populate business expenses. I am also not able to add anything to the forms directly.
Anyone else has this problem?

To clarify, what do you mean by Turbo Tax not importing information? Assuming you are preparing your California return at the same time you are preparing your federal return, the information should populate from the federal to your California non-resident return.  If you check your California forms, is there a Schedule C worksheet listed?

 

If you look at your California Schedule C worksheet, there is no separate entries made for expenses. Line K shows a net profit (or loss) and line M shows the Gross Profit before expenses on the worksheet. These amounts are derived from the federal return based on the income and expenses entries that you made.

 

Check your worksheet and see if there are entries made in Line K or line M.  If so, the program properly populated your income and expenses from your federal return. 

 

Reach out if this doesn't address your concern.
