Schedule D (540) Generated for CA Non-Resident Return

[john1922]

I am not sure why I got a schedule D(540) for CA non-resident return. I am a full year non-resident, only income I have is rental in California. But I got a schedule D full of stock transaction. Thus line 1 to 5 of the CA schedule D should be 0, but i has numbers on there.

How do I override the schedule D in this case? using online premier version

You can try 2 different things to get rid of the form.  You can go to Delete a Form and deleting the Schedule D for CA. 

1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.

1. Select Tax Tools
2. On the drop-down select Tools
3. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
4. This will give you all of the forms in your return
5. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
6. Select the Form
7. Click on Delete.

Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences. 

Or, you can go back through the interview to see remove the numbers.  When you go through the CA interview screen, you will come to adjustments in income screens. If you scroll down to investments you will be able to click on the type of investment which you are seeing cause you to have a D(540)  On these screens you will remove all income that is not subject to CA taxation. If you are not sure which one it is you can click start next to them all to remove the income.

If that does not work, then

I keep trying to delete the schedule D but it still pops up in my CA tax return. There is no way I can adjust the sales. they are all already 0 for now. Had the same problem last year thought they fixed it.

If your return is correct, other than having an extra sheet of zeroes, it will not affect your filing or your tax situation.
