California requires a county be included for the principal residence when the address is the same as last year or the principal State of residents is CA.
Solution: A county is required to be selected in screen 3, Miscellaneous under the California Miscellaneous sub-section. California county at time of filing should be selected. The program automatically checks the box for the principal/physical resident address same as above on Form 540, Page 1 if the taxpayer is 18 years or older, filed full year resident return in prior year, and the “Principal Residence Address (if different)” section is blank.
Note: Enter the complete principal residence address including city, county, state, and zip code for the domestic address and region, postal code, and country for the foreign address. For filed full year resident return in prior year the program looks for an entry of 1 in the California Prior Year Summary Screen, “Resident status:1=full year, 2=part year, 3=nonresident” field (screen 48.011, code 81).
