I have a CA State return - 540-NR that keeps rejecting e-file

It states "Description for e-file for other Adjustments to Income is incorrect for e-file." This adjustment is for income not taxable to CA (non-resident and not earned in CA) Any suggestions?

So it was a 1099MISC you entered on the Federal return? and it landed on the Other Income Statement Line 3b?

Did you use the NR state allocation worksheet at the bottom of the Fed Info worksheet to allocate income to CA and the other states?

CA doesnt seem to like things on that Line 8z

I had not done this.  I entered 0 for the 1099 income for CA.  Should I enter 0 in the wages area for the W-2 that was issued out of CA?  If I enter 0 for it, then will it still flow to the CA Non-Resident?  Since they took our CA withholding that is due back to her, I don't want to mess this up???

did you make an entry on the Form CA as an income adjustment? Or did you make an income adjustment on the Federal Other Income line that isnt being recognized by CA maybe?

I made the adjustment on the CA return.  The income is taxable to Federal return but not CA State

What was the adjustment? Did it have a specified line for it or did you make a generic entry?
