Is this a passive loss from sch c or a NOL?

I finished a carryover a few years ago, but the only thing on the FTB site was dated Tax News article from 2015. "When contributions are greater than the applicable 50 percent, 30 percent, or 20 percent of federal AGI limitations for a given year, the excess contributions are carried over and may be deducted for five years. The ordering rule is to first deduct current year's contributions, and then look to prior years' contributions carried forward, by each separate limitation amount. It is always important to know the correct limitation category (50 percent, 30 percent, or 20 percent of federal AGI) for contributions; both for the current year's contributions return and for prior years' carryovers. This is especially true if you are preparing a new client's return for the first time and they have contributions carried over from prior years."

-----Does anyone know why CA is proposing this? ---- Because California is California. Probably because of HRB "up front pricing."

One little section in the bill: (d) The written disclosures required to be provided in this section shall be made available in English and the five languages listed in Section 1632 of the Civil Code. Hopefully, Google can translate into the five acceptable languages!

That's the way I do it for Ca. I did for years with ATX and am doing the same with Drake.

No. Page 6 of THE pub 1031 days residents are taxed on all income no matter the source. I don't think the FTB would consider him a part time resident since he maintained residence in Ca.
