BUSINESS INCOME ALLOCATED TO STATES

Hi all

Client has $350k net income on Sched C. Lived 1/2 NY 1/2 CA. Allocated 50% of $350k to each state. SE taxes and SEP contribution are $80k.

Both NY and CA calculate state tax on AGI from federal after the $80k deduction. NY tax is allocated as 50%, makes sense. CA has an allocation sheet and Proseries defaults to deducting this $80k, so that CA share of income reduces to below 50%.

This is double dipping right? I should set the CA allocations of SE taxes and Sep contribution  to zero, as CA tax is already after the $80k deduction?

Sorry if this is a bit basic, my head is spinning as there are a lot of other moving parts in this return.

Thanks for any help Nolan
