There are several EF messages that can generate regarding this form and Business information.

To clear these messages, if there are multiple Schedule Cs on the return, go to the States tab > CA > EIC screen and do one of the following:

  • Mark the box to Pull business info from Federal screen 1,

  • Mark the box to Pull business info from the FIRST Schedule C, or

  • Fill out the Business Information section (overrides).

If the business income is coming from a federal Schedule F or K1P, the Business Information overrides must be used.

  • If option 1 above is used, the business code must be entered in the Business Information section.

    • Click in the Business Code box and press Ctrl + ShiftS to open a search box to easily find codes.

  • P.O. boxes are not valid entries for the Business address on this form.

  • If the only source of business income on a return is a single Schedule C, the software will automatically pull the business information to the form.

Note  If you are receiving any of these red messages, but do not have CA business income, review federal screens C, F, and K1P to make sure CA is not selected in the ST drop list.
