California carryover question

I was going over my state tax and this error message came up to fix -

"Carryover Worksheet: Capital Loss C/O - Res - You have a total federal capital loss carryover of XXX but you haven't entered for you California capital loss carryover. Please enter your Californica capital loss carryover. The federal carryover amount is not used for California because it's often a different amount."  Turbotax provided a link for CA tax for 540d but the link doesn't work. Where can I locate this information should I check my 2022 CA tax return schedule D.

The California capital loss carryover from 2022 will be reflected on your 2022 California Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet.  The amount on line 8 is your capital loss carryover amount for 2023.

 

Therefore, you will need access to your 2022 California state return to find this worksheet and determine the correct amount to enter into TurboTax for your 2023 tax return.

 

If you are using TurboTax online, once you locate the amount, you can log back into TurboTax and select Your State Returns from the panel on the left.

  1. Select Edit to the right of your state.
  2. Select edit to the right of Income and adjustments
  3. Proceed through the screens until you see the screen titled "Here's the income that California handles differently."  
  4. Scroll down to the section titled Investments and select start/revisit to the right of Capital Loss Carryover from Last Year.
  5. You will be prompted to enter your state specific capital loss carryover amounts from 2022.

If you are using the desktop version of TurboTax, you can enter the California capital loss carryover amount in the state interview section of the program.

  1. Select the State Taxes tab and then select edit to the right of Income and adjustments.
  2. On the page titled "Here's the income that California handles differently, select edit to the right of Capital Loss Carryover from last year.  
  3. You will be prompted to enter your state specific capital loss carryover amounts from 2022.

Thanks, was able to locate it. I been getting all kinds of questions come up this year I thought Turbotax carries over the information from previous years since I been using Turbotax for years.  There were questions that required me to go to 2021 returns for information is this normal.

It depends.

 

TurboTax should pull your carryover numbers in if you are logged in using the same credentials as you used to prepare your prior year returns.

Whew, thanks for the step by step response!. I was turning over rock after rock to find the answer, and the FTB document is so ridiculously cryptic.
