CA adjustments

[dehmig]

CA has been adding back deductions that I enter on the IRS Form "other income. No explanations, just disallowing the deduction. At least CA used to ask for an explanation of the deduction. Plus, I have used this method for years. It's not like CA has made some giant step forward in their computer systems. Could it be a pro-series glitch, like with the recent NOL problem?

Federal Sch 1 and the California Sch CA both changed the lines for Other Income in 2021, they dont seem to sync up completely yet.

What kinds of things are you putting in Other Income on federal thats giving you a problem on CA?

No kidding, probably worth responding to these notices explaining what the adjustment is and please remove the adjustment. I am still pretty old school, so I still like to put less amount rolled over to new IRA broker company when they get an IRA showing 100% taxable or less amounts paid for higher education when the parents get a 529 distribution. I don't trust putting everything on the proper form. I always have liked other income as a catch all form. Seems to still be off the IRS radar. I am talking about those last 3 lines on the form, not the lines that do come from all the other kinds of reporting income. Only got 3 notices and CA amounts are minor, but it sure ticks off a client.

Thanks for your time.
