On Schedule CA (540). Enter the federal amount in Column A and put any California subtractions in Column B or additions in Column C. Column D shows the California amount.
- Use Part I of Schedule CA for adjustments to federal adjusted gross income.
- Use Part II for adjustments to federal itemized deductions.

Transfer the totals from Schedule CA to the corresponding lines on Form 540 (the line for California adjusted gross income / the line for itemized deductions). Attach Schedule CA to your Form 540.
