Unemployment compensation is not taxable in CA.   It is taxable on your federal return.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return. 

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

Some states will mail out the 1099G.  Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure  to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.

And....it seems you are working on a 2021 return .  Are you using 2021 software?  You cannot use the current online software for a 2021 return.  Online is only for 2022 returns.   If you are preparing a 2021 return you have to be using the CD/download, and your return will have to be filed by mail.
