How do I make alimony taxable on the Calif return but not the federal?

I'm on hold with the Lacerte rep and she insists there should be a source box on Screen 14.1 to allow me to indicate that it's only taxable on the Calif return but I only have three input boxes: alimony received, date of agreement & non-taxable pre-2019 agreement.

I've checked other non-California clients and some have input for state and source but some don't.

You'll love this stupid fix: Screen 1 - make the return a multi-state return and the additional input boxes will appear in the Alimony section in 14.1.

WTF?
