I have a client that receives alimony which is taxable in CA. I'm entering the correct amount and Lacerte is doubling it on Sch CA, Sec B, line 2, column C

Very strange! Here are screenshots of my input/output. I would call Support. You're right not to cut it in half on input just to shortcut it.

Just installed the latest update. Works correctly now.

Mine appears to be calculating correctly. What are your inputs on Screen 14.1?

120K in alimony received and 1/2/20 in the date of agreement. With that input, I get a +240K adj on the Sch CA. These are the same entries I made in '24, which came out correct.

Of course I could enter half of the correct amount to get where I need to be. But then when Lacerte fixes this...
