2019 540 Forms

I completed my taxes two weeks ago but had to wait for the Calif 540 forms updates.  I downloaded today and am having two problems that appear to be program based.  

1.  On Line 5 of the 540 says SS benefits must be entered from 1040.  There are no SS benefits entered on my 1040 and never has been.

2.  Line 12 on 540 - State wages from Fed return W2 box 16 must be entered.  I have not entered a W2 and the worksheet is blank.  This error did not show up until after I paid to file electronically and hit the transmit button.  I cannot now get past this point.

Try filing those fields with zeros.

Line 12 on the 540 already had a zero in it and you cannot edit it.  I managed to click something and got another box that had  0.00 entered.  I deleted this and the zero on line 12 went away.  However, the bigger question is why is this field trying to look at a W2 that does not exist?  The next issue was that this error did not appear until I tried to transmit the tax forms.
