What-If Worksheet for state taxes (California) - Available?

[RDodd]

Is there a way to use a What-If Worksheet to run scenarios for my California Income taxes? I am trying to determine possible taxes owed for 2020, similar to what I did with What-If for Federal.

Nope.....sorry but the What-IF is only applicable to the Federal part.  ( I'm guessing that trying to do the software to create a different What-IF sheet for each state would likely require massive resources )

What you can do with the 2019 desktop software, is save your actual 2019  tax file to differently-named tax file, like "Pseudo_2020_Test" .  Then modify each of the Federal sections to mimic what you expect to be the case for 2020.  Then when you go to the CA section and work thru it, the software would use 2019 CA tax settings, but it would likely be pretty close to what 2020 would show.
