I am trying to eFile my California state tax return.  TurboTax review takes me to an area that does not apply to me or my return - California Form #3554 - New Employment Credit.  The software will not allow me to edit or skip this area. I need to complete and file. HELP!

    Form 3554 is used to obtain a credit for new employees acquired during the year.  For 2020, you could qualify for the credit if you hired employees in a Designated Geographical Area. Please see the link below for additional information to determine if you qualify for this credit.

     

    Form 3554 - New Employment Credit

     

    If you determine this credit does not apply to your return, you can delete the form as follows:

    1. Go to the Forms section
    2. In the left panel, select Open Form

    Open form

    Type in 3554, scroll down and select Form 3554:  New Employment Credit and open the form.

     

    Once you see the form on your screen, go to the top menu and select Forms.

    Select Delete Form 3554.

     

    This will remove the form for your tax return and allow you to proceed.
