Taxpayer and Spouse are both in mid-50s. Husband has lots of W2 income, spouse has no earned income. No retirement plans at work.
Both contributed Max to their IRA ($8,000 each). Full deduction was allowed for Fed. California is adding back $1,000 each on the Schedule CA line 20, but the CA worksheet does not show any reduction necessary.
I can't come up with any reason why the deduction has been limited. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
"Catch-Up Contributions for Certain Individuals – For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, the CAA, 2023, provides for the indexing for the $1,000 catch-up contribution to an IRA for individuals age 50 or older. The CAA, 2023, also increases certain contribution amounts, including catch-up contributions for individuals age 50 or over as defined in IRC Section 414(v). California law does not conform to these federal provisions. Any amount contributed that exceeds the contribution amount allowed for California may need to be included in income for California purposes. Any distribution from contributions in excess of the California limit may become taxable when distributed. For more information, get the instructions for Schedule CA (540) or Schedule CA (540NR) and FTB Pub. 1005."

CAA is the Federal provision.
