I have a problem with California Schedule CA (540NR) - "California Adjustments" Part II, Section B, 8z, I cannot allocate income to CA/other-state sources for other income (both other income WITH 1099-MISC and misc income WITHOUT 1099-MISC).

In other words, TurboTax does not provide a way to fill out CA 540NR, Part II, Section B, 8z, column D and E, causing the CA AGI and taxable income to be incorrect!

Column A figure is incorrect as well, it's counting only the other income without 1099-MISC and missing my 1099-MISC income. The number does not match 1040 Schedule I 8z.

I am using the online self-employed edition. This needs to be fixed ASAP! Please help!

I tried the desktop version. Although the desktop version allowed me to go into the forms mode so that I can fill out column E for 8z on Schedule CA (540NR), unfortunately the calculation is still incorrect because it does not let me fill out column D, which is needed to calculate deduction percentage in Part IV.

You are mistaking what the purpose of column B is.

Column B (Part II, Section A, Line 1 through Line 7, and Section B, Line 1 through Line 7 and Line 9a) – Subtract income that is not taxable to a California resident such as California lottery winnings and social security benefits. Do not use column B to deduct income that was earned while a nonresident of California or from sources outside of California. There must be a difference in state and federal tax law. Generally, if a full-year California resident cannot subtract income in column B, a nonresident or part-year resident may not subtract income in column B.

Here is the California laws dealing with non-residents.
