How to get 540NR in Turbotax 2025?

[user17638037803]

I purchased Turbotax Deluxe 2025 with federal and state return included and 1 federal free efile.

I am a nonresident in california and US for whole of 2025. I entered my address as "Foreign address".

Turbotax Deluxe computes my federal taxes correctly.

1) When I go to State return, it says  CA tax= $0 because I lived outside US and

I do not need to file California return!

That is NOT correct. California requires me to file 540NR for my California source income.

2) I clicked on "Get another State" and tried to download California version and 

it is charging me another $40, though my Turbotax Deluxe includes 1 free State return!

Can you please correct errors in Turbotax Deluxe 2025, so that I can file 540NR ?

Thanks!

@user17638037803 - just curious, if you are a non-resident for the whole year, aren't you required to complete federal form 1040-NR which is not supported by Turbo Tax?  how could your federal forms be correct in that instance? 

Can you please state where you were living in 2025?  If you lived in CA for the whole year, and are not a US citizen or resident alien, then under the physical presence test, yes, filing the normal 1040 is correct, but then filing the CA non-resident form would not correct.  You would be subject to tax on any income earned while living in CA and Form 540 would be correct (540NR would be incorrect).

state returns for 2025 are probably not available at this time assuming form 1040 is the correct form rather than 1040-NR

I am a US Citizen who is outside US for whole of 2025

and need to file regular form 1040, which is available in

Turbotax Deluxe 2025 desktop version.

Clearly this is a bug in Turbotax Deluxe 2025 desktop version.

Turbotax: Please fix this bug soon!
