How to correct 3514 glitch?

[JohnW152]

There are no known issues with the California form.  What's the problem that you're encountering? 

You might reference California's Form 3514 and the 2023 Instructions for Form FTB 3514 to frame your issue.

When reviewing CA taxes it keeps requiring info for form 3514 which does not apply to me and there is no way around it.  

I was able to delete the form.  I had to punch in random info for it to appear under tools to delete.

Did deleting the form resolve your issue?

California Form 3514 is the Earned Income Credit form. If you may qualify for Earned Income Credit, and you have any income on your Federal return on  Schedule 1, Line 3 (Business income or loss), this may be what the program was asking about.

If you inadvertently started to complete a Schedule C or mistakenly entered other income that populated Schedule 1, Line 3 and then removed it, you could try deleting those forms to correct the error. If you do have a Schedule C, make sure there is a business code entered.

To delete a form in TurboTax Online:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
2. In the left menu, select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools".
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, select "Delete a form".
4. Select "Delete" next to " " (name of form from the list that appears) and follow the instructions.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, try deleting the entire California return and then adding it back/preparing it again. In TurboTax Online, you can click the trash can icon next to the Edit button on the line showing the state's name.

Then, see if that 3514 form still appears as a form in your California return. To see your list of forms, go to tax tools>tools>delete a form.  Check to see if the 3514 is there, along with any Federal earned income credit forms and delete them as well.
