Reject Code CA_CharitableContrib

[j9jam]

I reviewed my CA state return as instructed but see no place for corrections and when I file again, it continues to reject for the same reason.

@j9jam Did you ever figure this out?  I got the same reject code today.

Mines doing the same thing. I don’t know what to do at this point

I'm having this same issue!

[Jetfan]

I  just refiled without changing anything.  My Federal has already been accepted.  I've never had this problem pop up in years past.  I believe this is a TT problem.  When I went to correct the error today (17th) it told me what the error was and to come back today (17th) to fix it.  But any links to fix it never came up.

Will update what happens on the refile.

Same here. It has been returned twice and I cannot find how to fix it. This sounds like another Turbo Tax issue...after last year with all the issues of getting my stimulus due to Turbo Tax issues I was hesitant to use Turbo Tax again.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this error. I don't see a way to fix it either - it just keeps circling back to the same point and then I get a "Looks all good" message. My federal was accepted and I've never had this issue in the past either.

I managed to fix my issue by going back to my fed return and itemizing my charitable deduction in the deductions and credits section, this change then carried over to the state return and I was able to submit mine successfully. My understanding is that you don't technically have to itemize if it's under a certain amount (I think $300?) but if you don't then the numbers don't flow over to the state return correctly. Hope this helps with anyone who has a similar issue!

I’m calling them!  I filed twice and got the same dang reason!  Will post when I found a reason why……

[Rave6510]

I didn’t itemize……I took the standard deduction!  Any help there???

[Rave6510]

My teaching deduction was under the $300 threshold……no help there……

[Jetfan]

@Rave6510  I took standard as well. Got rejected yesterday. Just refiled today and made no changes.

Just got off the phone with Turbo Tax CS…..they said there was a form that wasn’t available until today, she told me to go ahead and re-file and it should go through…..🙏

This right here. I did the same thing - went back to federal and itemized my charitable deductions (less than $300).

I spoke with a TurboTax agent yesterday and that was the steps she had me walk through - said it was something new this year and that a lot of people were having issues. I just refiled this morning and got the alert that my state return had been accepted.

@amcw  Did you take the standard deduction for Federal or did your own itemized deductions?
