How to start a new California Return

I filed Federal 1040 Return for $8K refund alone without filing CA state because a few forms are not ready; now I filed 1040X to claim additional credit, but CA refund 540X shows '0' refund which should be $4k.  It is obvious that TurboTax CA  assumed that  I filed CA refund already.  How can I make this correction?

You can try to go into the FORMS mode and delete the CA 540X.  You then may be able to E-file the CA tax return.  If that doesn't work.

 

Fortunately, you have the desktop version.  You should be able to start a new tax return with your original 2021 tax data.  You can then complete your CA state taxes as an original file.  However, you may have to mail your CA return because you will not be able to file another Federal return in this session.
