CALIFORNIA SCHEDULE CA NOT CALCULATING

[Olympus Tax]

The connection between the Federal Schedule 1 line 8z no longer is connected the California Schedule

CA, in fact the data calculates in the background of the software however the California Schedule CA no longer calculates.

This is another COMPLETE SOFTWARE FAILURE BY OUR FRIENDS AT INTUIT, 

ALREADY HAD CLIENT CALL TO INFORM ME THAT CALIFORNIA IS HANDLING THIS PROBLEM AS A MIS CALCULATION WITHIN THE SOFTWARE AND IS CORRECTING THE RETURN TO WHAT IS ACTUALLY REORTING ON THE SCHEDULE CA.

INTUIT PLEASE HELP WITH YET ANOTHER COMPLETE FAILURE OF YOUR SOFTWARE.

CALIFORNIA SCHEDULE CA SECTION B IS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND DOES NOT TRANSFER DATA FROM THE FEDERAL SCHEDULE 1 OR CALCULATE AT ALL EVEN IF YOU MANUALLY TRANSFER THE DATA.

THE END RESULTS ARE CORRECT JUST NOT FILLING OUT THE SCHEDULE CA CORRECTLY AND CAUSING THE CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE TAX BOARD TO CHANGE THE RETURN TO REFLEC THE PRINTED DATA, OF WHICH THERE IS NONE.

Id like to see what you're seeing, what is it you're putting in Line 8z?

It could be anything from income from 1099-Q along with the deduction for qualified education expenses, to adjustment to Section 121 basis for a cancellation of debt to cancellation of debt income and exclusion of said cancellation input on form 982 etc.   Many of the so called "smart work sheets" don't show the actual adjustments correctly.

Nothing on Schedule CA that translates from Federal Schedule 1, translates correctly, including when you have a federal NOL the CA Schedule CA will not calculate correctly, the  CA form 540 has the correct information however the Schedule CA has all the wrong detail. including CA schedule CA lines 8a thru 8z, line 10 and line 27 have the wrong numbers. I have first identified these calculation errors within the software in the beginning of February 2022 and Intuit ProSeries still has no answers.

Another issue for 2022 SCH CA 540NR - no automatic calculation for Sec A line 1a Column E unlike in previous years' software. Even if you have some amount in column D column E is still blank.

You need to pay attention because you can get the wrong refund amount.
