Thanks for getting back to me.

Part 1, sec b, line 3, business income (possibly column A and B, though my case, column A only)

I spoke with a Franchise Tax Board agent today; we discussed the FTB employee or independent contractor information regarding form California 540 CA. The critical item for moving income to line 3, as noted above, seems to be the taxpayer received a W2, and a 1099 or no 1099 for the same income.

My taxpayer received no W2 and no 1099; since there is no W2, ProConnect Tax should not have triggered moving the income to form CA. (The income was actually a schedule C loss of about $4.6K)

By the way, I did find a work around, but want to be sure I'm not subverting actual CA law!
