Question
CA 540 schedule CA, side 1, line 8a
Confused on this line, it is showing the NOL from business as a positive amount, but on the federal form 1040 it is a negative amount; also how it shows when going through the software. I submitted my returns to the state already and despite TT showing me due a refund, the state is looking at this as added income and thus I owe to the state. Looking at my 2020 return the line shows the amount as a negative. So, can someone please clarify, and how to fix if needed. I can't edit the line in forms.
