Box 10 over $5,000?
If not, what are the amounts of Federal wages and state adjustment?
If not, it's likely the W-2's have something "out of the ordinary" in the sense that CA taxes the "out of the ordinary" items. Check with the Sch CA instructions again.
Immediately came to mind: Code W - Employer contributions to HSA?
If not, look at the W-2 input, would the CA increase be tied to amounts entered with another/other code(s)?
Yes, I thought that might be it but no HSA. I have codes V, DD, D, and C. None of them are any where near the amount that the program is adding on Sch CA. Any other thoughts? I read through the instructions and can't see why there would be an addition.

When all fails, email Lacerte. Attach the client file and ask.
Yes! That's it. Thank you for pointing that out. I was so focused on box 12 that I didn't think of box 10.
You're welcome. We're here to help - and also learn from - each other.
The culprit is new for 2021. CA did NOT conform to the raised federal benefit amount. That's why I didn't think of it immediately.
Happy taxing.
