The IRA is a deductible IRA on the Federal. It is allowing the deduction on the federal for both but it adjust on CA.

I think just-lisa-now touched on something though. I was focused on the wife thinking the adjustment was for her. I looked at her age. She was 69 in 2020.

But now I think the adjustment is for the husband who had the wages. He was 71.

It's frustrating that proseries doesn't provide worksheets and just plugs numbers in without being able to jump to the source. 

I appreciate your help on this.
