I have additional income on 1040 Schedule 1 Part 1 line 8z. I think this is supposed to show up on CA 540NR Part 2 Section B line 8z, but it does not. Why?

Nope it is not. Well to clarify, it might be correct for CA540, but it is not correct for 540NR.  Whereas the form now correctly pulls in the other income from 1040 Sch1 and puts it in Column A (Federal amounts), line Z, of Sch 540NR, the system does not ask you to apportion it based on how much was received as a CA resident and how much as non-resident (like to does for Capital gains and dividends).  This proportion should appear in Column E (CA amounts).  That column is still blank on my CA540NR.  So.... it's only partially 'fixed'.  It might be ok now for full-time CA residents but not for part-time.

I have the same problem with California Schedule CA (540NR) - "California Adjustments"Part II, Section B, 8z, I cannot allocate income to CA/other-state sources for other income (both other income WITH 1099-MISC and misc income WITHOUT 1099-MISC).

In other words, there is no way to fill out CA 540NR, Part II, Section B, 8z, column D and E. Column A figure is incorrect as well. The number does not match 1040 Schedule I 8z.

I am using the online edition. This needs to be fixed ASAP!

You are mistaking what the purpose of column B is.  

• Column B (Part II, Section A, Line 1 through Line 7, and Section B, Line 1 through Line 7 and Line 9a) – Subtract income that is not taxable to a California resident such as California lottery winnings and social security benefits. Do not use column B to deduct income that was earned while a nonresident of California or from sources outside of California. There must be a difference in state and federal tax law. Generally, if a full-year California resident cannot subtract income in column B, a nonresident or part-year resident may not subtract income in column B.

Here is the California laws dealing with non-residents.

Problem is not resolved.  I checked for any latest TT upgrades as well.  Federal form 1040, Schedule 1 figure is NOT being transferred to CA 540 Schedule CA line 8z, Other Income.  We've had a phone call discussion with CA IRS about our CA return being "incorrect" because of this issue.  Is there a TT resolution to this problem?
