I am getting a CA reject saying: A negative loss is not allowed for capital assets on Schedule D. I have confirmed that the loss is shown correctly ($1,500 loss) on both the Fed 1040 and the CA 540 D. I don't see anything incorrect. Anyone else have this issue?

You are using a double negative. Either you have a loss or you have a gain. A negative loss would be a gain. I have this feeling that you input something incorrectly. All of the input should be as positive numbers.
Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Actually...I had already checked that and it was not the case.
However, I did find the issue: I had a miscellaneous Adj to the cost which I entered as a positive number but the program carried it to the CA 540 D as a negative in the loss column. I had to actually enter the number with a negative symbol in order to push it correctly to the CA 540 D.
