Assuming you are entering passive activity losses from your rental property, these amounts will be entered in your federal return and these amounts will carry over to your state return.

 

However, you can make adjustments on your state return as follows.

  1. Select State in the black panel on the left hand side of your screen when logged into TurboTax.
  2. This will take you to a screen titled Let's get your state taxes done right.  Click continue on this screen.
  3. You will see the following screen titled Status of your state returns.  Select Edit to the right of California to review your entries.

Add state

 

Continue through the screens until you see Rental and Royalty Summary.

  1. Select Edit to the right of the property to be edited
  2. The next screen will ask you if you have Any Section 179, Passive, or At-Risk Loss Carryovers and select Yes to edit your information
  3. Continue through the screens for Section 179.  
  4. You will then be asked if you have Any Passive Loss or At-Risk Loss Carryovers.
  5. Select Yes here and you will be able to make your entries as applicable.
