by Intuit• Updated 1 month ago
The following critical diagnostic is generating in ProConnect Tax:
The wage adjustment on California Schedule CA (540NR) line 7b may be incorrect. Typically, it is incorrect to use "State wages, if different" to allocate wages on a nonresident return. This could result in an incorrect tax calculation on Form 540NR. See California FTB Publication 1001 for items that can create a wage subtraction on the California return. Generally, line 7a and 7d should equal each other, with the line 7e reflecting only the California "source" portion. Refer to the Multi-state/Nonresident section of the for correct wage "sourcing" procedures. (ref. #1126)
Follow these steps to resolve this diagnostic:
- From the Input Return tab, go to Income ⮕ Wages, Salaries, Tips.
- Scroll down to the State and Local section.
- Remove the amount entered in (16) State wages, if different.
