CA form 3804-CR

Post by anoop »

Anyone had this form - California Form 3804-CR show up in their return when using Turbo Tax for a CA state return? Not sure why it showed up in mine since it's completely empty but I filed it anyway.

I don't use Turbo Tax, but it seems like you're not the only one with the issue. Reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/tax/comments/1 ... will_i_be/

Thanks. I was wondering if I accidentally did something to trigger insertion of that form but looks like it’s just TurboTax being TurboTax, America’s #1 trusted software for tax prep. :D

Did you by any chance elect Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Calculation while preparing your CA return?

It could help you getting additional tax relief if you are capped by the SALT limit.

Not that I’m aware of. I ran through the CA part super fast.

Turbo Tax online "elected" that for me I guess, it didn't do anything that prompted a question about it that I'm aware of it, it just happened apparently when it imported my Federal info and I guess determined that was the appropriate thing to do. It's empty on my tax filing except for my name and personal info.
