Trying to factor-in Charitable Deductions = $14,241 on California 2018 return. It ended up on Schedule CA (540) Part I, Line 21, Col B (as INCOME)...whereas it SHOULD be entered (it's NOT) in Part II, Line 11 (Gifts to Charity), Col A.

I'm in the final "Preview", just before sending as an e-file.

How do I correct this? Thanks!
