It depends.

 

If you are concerned with how the name displays on the tax return, you should not change how it appears.  The Franchise Tax Board has information displayed in a certain way to help process the returns.  It is not advisable to alter it as it may delay the processing of your return.

 

I recommend going back into the My Info section of the program and confirming you have entered your information correctly.

 

Be sure you have entered your first and last name in the correct sections.

 

As long as you have entered it into the TurboTax software as requested, your return will be ready for filing.
