Why did California lower my refund?

[briandavidpowers]

I got a letter stating the reason as KC: You made an error when you subtracted your Total Special Credits from your net tax. I did not make an error doing this calculation after I reviewed my taxes. I cannot get through to them because their phone line says they are too busy to take calls and I can't talk to turbotax because I don't have the deluxe edition.

The CA tax board phone number finally allowed me to join the queue and the agent checked my info and approved a check for the renter's credit. Weird how quick it was but the problem is solved.
