The software is letting you make the decision. You don't have to check that box.

No, the check box just says California Middle Class Refund, "Yes" or "No".  The natural reaction would be to check that box because that is what it is (it also has check boxes for things like the Olympics, etc.). 

It does not state "do you want to exclude" the California Middle Class Refund.
