California Form 3849 Still Not Working Correctly with Multiple Form 3895s

California Form 3849 is not working correctly when two Form 3895s are entered. Form 3849 rows 12(b) - 23(b) only take their values from rows 6(b) - 17(b) of the last Form 3895 entered and not the sum of the values of both (or all) of the Form 3895s. Depending on the order that I enter my two Form 3895s, I either owe $4,700 in taxes or receive a $150 refund. Luckily the latter is the correct case for me. So please, TurboTax, fix this problem. I know that most people will probably only have one but there will be many that have two or more. This can really affect someone's taxes. This problem still persists after the 2/12/2021 update.

Although the issue mentioned is still not resolved, I did file both my federal and state returns (since the second form 3895 that I entered into TurboTax does NOT affect my taxes), and they were both accepted by the IRS and FTB respectively.

Still TT should fix the problem because it could result in a serious overpayment of taxes by the taxpayer.
