Improper Reference to Form 3913 in California Schedule CA(540)

Even though Schedule CA(540) is not yet final, here a hint to an improper reference in the TurboTax form: Line 14 in Section C refers to a Form 3913. It should refer to Form 3903. For your information, I am attaching screenshots of the system parameters of my TurboTax and the appropriate portion of Section C of the TurboTax version of California Schedule CA(540).

Yes, it should be federal Form 3903.  California allows a moving expense deduction for all taxpayers. Prepare federal Form 3903, Moving Expenses, using California amounts.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

No, there is a California state form 3913.

You are right. I thought I already corrected that in another posts, but cannot find it. It came about because, in prior years, Schedule CA(540) referred to federal tax form 3903. Now it refers to California Form 3913.
