California Mortgage Interest: Column A Federal Amounts

[wilsonrio]

Column A Federal Amounts (lines 8a, 8e, 10) show interest paid 13.6K while 1098 (box 1) 14.8K. I believe in TT the mortgage interest is automatically transferred from the Federal entry, I am not sure why in the Schedule CA (540) is showing 13.6K instead of 14.8K?

1098
Mortgage interest (box 1)--> 14.8K
Outstanding mortgage (box 2) --> 333K
Mortgage origination date (box 3)--> 2009

Side 2 Schedule CA (540) 2019
Column A Federal Amounts
Interest You Paid:
8a, 8e, 10 --> 13.6K?

wilsonrio,

You have a puzzler here.  I tried your experiment in TurboTax and it transferred the full $14.8K to the CA return.  Check that you entered the mortgage balance correctly, as the federal government limits the deduction to the first $1 million ($500K if married filing separately) for homes purchased prior to the 2017 tax law change.

Hello hbl3973,

Thank you for your willingness to help. I checked and went over step by step again and confirm and verified that I entered the balance correct in TT Home & Business, Personal tab under Deductions & Credits, column "Interest" shows correct 14,764. However Schedule CA (540) no change is still showing 13,616? 

Also please note that I have only one lender and not refinanced and no HELOC
