Drake Tax - CA - EF Message 0069

To clear California EF Message 0069, go to CA screen USE. This screen is used to compute the use tax owed or to indicate why no use tax is being reported on the return.

1. If no Use Tax is due on the return, mark the box to indicate that No Use Tax Due or Use tax obligation paid directly to CDTFA.

2. If Use Tax needs to be computed on the return, complete lines 1-4 as needed to compute use tax due using the Use Tax Worksheet (appears in View/Print mode as CAWK_USE).

• Certain individual taxpayers can compute use tax due using the Estimated Tax table instead of the Use Tax worksheet. To use the table instead of the worksheet, mark the box Use Estimated Tax Table instead of Use Tax Worksheet (Individuals ONLY) and complete lines 1-4 as needed. No worksheet appears in view when the Use Tax is calculated using this method.

Refer to the CA 540 Instruction Booklet for more information.
