Final Review says I have an error with California Schedule CA line 5a (Social Security Benefits) under Column A (federal amounts). Social security benefits for both my wife and I are zero, as correctly show on the 1040 line 5a & 5b. Nonetheless the final review shows Schedule CA line 5a as an error. What's going on ?

    Here is solution found in another chat...

    1. Delete the superfluous “0.” in the column before column A.

    2. There is a checkbox you can select somewhere that says something like ”don’t include this worksheet in the schedule”. Make sure it’s checked. Then the highlighted pink/grey cell in 5A goes away. 

    3. Go thru the verification again and you’ll be ready to file.
