Why did my california tax increase after downloading software?

I just downloaded the latest software and suddenly I owed an additional $800 for California. Why? Can I submit the final version I created a few weeks ago? (When I try to bring it up it adjusts it, I want to submit it as I would have two weeks ago.)

You have inadvertently activated the Calif LLC return. To turn it off, go to the Calif Topic List "Business / Sch C Wks" screen that asks "Is *business name* a Single Member LLC for California filing purposes?", and answer No.

In the California interview, on the page "Business Summary", (and you get there by clicking on the "Start" button next to "Business Summary" on the "Uncommon Income and Other California Adjustments" page), there's a "Note" that reads "if any of these businesses are a Single Member LLC for California, select edit next to that business." I assume that's what you did.

If you're using the desktop program you should be able to simply go into "Forms" mode and delete that form from your income tax return.
