As if the IRS isn't enough of a hot mess, now the CA FTB wants in on it too!

Oh Franchise Tax Board, you really stepped in a big pile with this one!

FTB is adjusting the Fed AGI (for CAEITC computations) by the UI exclusion for returns filed before a certain date...which is great UNLESS you made that UCE adjustment already and they go and make it again!!

Clients return was correctly filed on Mar 19th. The UCE adjustment of 10,200 was made on the fed return, and then added back to the CA return (since CA already deducts all UI so you have to add it back).

Now FTB has gone and reduced the Fed AGI again by the 10,200 amount which increases the CAEITC, so they sent her another refund check for over $2100 for this additional CAEITC that she isnt entitled to.

What a freaking mess!
