593

Turbot Tax instructs to enter my California tax witholding from a home sale in both state and federal tax forms. I entered it into my 1099, but when I begin to fill out my 593 there is a warning not to enter the information if its is already stated on my 1099 as California Tax Board will reject it. I tried skipping it but it keeps stating that there is an error of not entering my 593 information. I am confused.

593

Do not enter the California tax withholding in the 1099-S/Sale of Home section. Instead, enter it as a tax payment. 

 

  1. Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits.
  2. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
  3. Select Other Income Taxes > Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099.
  4. Enter the amount ‌under the State section. This ensures you get the Federal deduction (if you itemize) without creating an error on the state side.

Steps to Fix the Error:

 

  1. Remove 593 from 1099: If you added the withholding amount to a 1099-S or similar entry, remove it there to avoid double-counting.
  2. Go to State Section: Navigate to the California tab.
  3. Find 593 Section: Locate the section for "Real Estate Withholding" or "593" (often under "Adjustments to Income").
  4. Enter 593: Enter the withheld amount from your actual Form 593. This tells California exactly how much was withheld.
