State Return (CA) incorrectly shows second home office 'Untitled'

I have declared a single home office on my federal return, however the state incorrectly shows two - one of the declared, and one 'Untitled'. I have no option/button to remove the 'Untitled' one, and it gives me errors about line 16b when doing the 'smart check' on the state... How can I remove it? Why is it there? There are no errors on the federal return though...

State Return (CA) incorrectly shows second home office 'Untitled'

Go back to your Federal return and see if you can find the 'untitled' home office there.  If you can, then it can be deleted from the Federal return.

 

The two places to check would be under any Schedule C that you may have entered or under Employee Business Expense Form 2106.  Sometimes a second home office is added by the unexpected click of a button that was entered by mistake.

State Return (CA) incorrectly shows second home office 'Untitled'

Thank you, @AnnetteB6 . So I checked my Schedule C's "home office summary", it has my first home as the only line there. Then, I went to my "Employee Job Expenses", there is only one home office entry (my second home's address) there. Unless there is another place (which I doubt), it seems to be a bug in Fed to State transfer. I even tried re-importing from Fed to State, same result. Is there a way to edit it manually, I remember I might have done such edit once a while ago?
