Child CA Form 3800 asking for Parent's Form 540NR details

Hello,

I am resident of TX and my child is going to college in TX. He did his summer internship in CA for 10 weeks and received his W2 with Federal and CA State Tax withheld. I am claiming him as my dependent in my Federal Tax filing.

When my child enters details for CA State return, it prompts for Parents info from Form 540NR, which we don't have and Turbo Tax shows as an error when doing Review. Should he leave these fields empty or enter 0 value. Please let me know.

Thanks

To clarify, is the student filing a non-resident or Part-Year resident return for California?

Does the student have unearned income, such as interest or investments and if so, was that earned from California sources?

Thanks for your reply.

Student did internship for 10 weeks and received W2, no other income from interest or investment in CA. He is planning to file as CA non-resident for State.

Thanks.
