I have claimed the RDP as a dependent on the 1040 since Federal doesn't recognize RDP and the person did not earn any income and lived with the taxpayer all year. 

When I go to CA state filing and create a joint RDP return the RDP is automatically added as a dependent (flow through from Federal) whenever I try to e-file. 

How can I prevent the federal dependent from flowing through to CA every time I attempt to e-file?

If I remove the dependent I have to save before e-filing and when I click save the software automatically pulls the federal dependent again.
