Unless there is a reason that federal and state amounts should be different you can ignore that.

Federal and California tax law are not the same in all cases. Examples include:

• Sick pay received under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and Railroad Retirement Act is exempt from state tax
• Income exempted by US treaties may be included in CA income
• Employee income exclusions for ridesharing fringe benefits may be higher in CA
• California does not tax federally recognized tribal members living 
  in California Indian country who earn income from any federally 
  recognized California Indian country. 
• CA's clergy housing exclusion is different
• California law allows an exclusion from gross income for IHSS 
  supplementary payments received by IHSS providers.
