Individual Return for a part-year CA resident in 2019 Filed CA 540NR. When the data transferred to 2020 as a Full-year CA Resident, Lacerte still generate 540NR? Is there a fix?

Make sure you select CA for Resident State as of 12/31 and check the box for Full Year Resident.

Thanks Itonewbie. One other question for you please. I do a schedule C for a business and supposed to generate form 4797. I have the form generated by another software. Is there a way to attach a file to the return when e-file?

I suppose you can attach it as a PDF, theoretically, and specify that as a Form 4797 but you run the risk of the IRS not processing the form at all or properly.
