Issue with CA Form 3803, US bond interests not recognized

[user17755314580]

My son has some US treasury bond and that was redeemed and he earned some interests ($4760). I'm trying to report this income.

In turbo tax, form mode, I'm seeing Form 8814 - part 1 - Child's Taxable Interest Smart Worksheet - line B (Interest from U.S. bonds, T-bills, etc(nontaxable to state) is $4760 which is expected.

however, on CA Form 3803, part 1, Child's Interest Income Smart Worksheet - line D (United States Saving Bonds, Treasury Bills or other direct federal obligations included in line A) is empty.  turbo tax didn't input anything.

this has lead to the entire $4760 being treated as "other income" and not being substracted on ca 540 Schedule CA. Is this a bug? I see nowhere in the step-by-step mode i can make it fill in form 3803, part 1, line D
