2024 California Non-Resident Tax Return

[rogmi1976]

The software for your 2024 California Non-Resident Tax Return has a small bug.

The amount of the PTE Elect Credit (code 242) that a taxpayer takes on Line 58 of Form 540NR should automatically be shown in Part II, Line 4 of Form 3804-CR. It is not currently being reflected in Part II, Line 4 of Form 3804 and there is no way to override it. NOTE: This worked correctly in 2023.

I was able to get the credit to appear on Form 3804-CR on a test return.

In order for us to troubleshoot this issue, you can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Desktop users:

1. From the black bar at the top of your screen, select Online
2. Click Send Tax File to Agent
3. Click Send on the message that pops up
4. TurboTax will create a "sanitized" copy of your return information with no personal info
5. Post the 7-digit token number here in this thread

Please also let us know which version of TurboTax you are using, and operating system (WIN or MAC), and which state you are filing besides California.
