Sch CA(540NR): for 2018. On-line does not allow to enter a NON-US state in form with error TP line 5 state code must be entered for California nonresident

Using TurboTax Deluxe on-line for 2018 filing.

Non-resident of USA, previously in California, and need to file CA return.

Get "ERROR MESSAGE" to fix Sch CA(540NR): TP line 5 state code must be entered.

The default list of states ONLY shows US states, and does not allow for an overseas state/country detail to be entered

Start the CA interview over again ... if you are completing a non resident return you should see these screens ...
