Turbotax will not populate California Schedule 540 line 20 with tax preparation fees. Per the FTB's instructions for this line, these fees are deductible (on line 20)

Here are the line instructions for CA schedule 540: "Line 20 – Tax Preparation Fees Enter the fees you paid for preparation of your tax return, including fees paid for filing your return electronically. If you paid your tax by credit or debit card, include the convenience fee you were charged on line 21 instead of this line." There is no mention of AGI or other limitation or phase out. How do I get Turbotax to take this deduction / populate line 20?

Where?  California schedule CA line 20 is the IRA deduction.

Oh I do see on 540 Schedule CA under Other Itemized Deductions line 20 is tax preparation fees.   You would first have to enter them on the federal side to flow over to California.
