Is it ok that the Apportionment Summary says 0% for one state even though I entered numbers and owe tax for that state? How do I fix this if it's a problem?

The Summary doesn't need to be correct but the tax return does. Is the CA apportionment schedule (R?) correct?

CA has a minimum tax, too.

How did you get it to owe tax if you have zero apportioned?

I put the amount of income per state in the correct boxes, and it created the state forms correctly. However on the Multi-State Apportionment Summary it shows CA as 0% -- but that is the state that the client owes. I'm just wondering if the number(s) isn't carrying over to that summary page correctly, or if there is a bigger issue I should be looking for. How important is it to have the Multi-State Apportionment Summary be correct? Is anybody other than my client even looking at that?

The more I know the more I don’t know.
