Which tax year do you mean? Line numbers can change year-to-year.
Generally, on California Form 540, Line 16 is the amount of California tax (the tax computed on your taxable income before most credits). In other words, it’s the tax liability determined from the CA tax table/rate schedule (or from a tax computation worksheet) based on your taxable income and filing status.
If you tell me the tax year and give your taxable income and filing status (single/married filing jointly/HOH), I can help compute the exact amount that should go on line 16 or point you to the exact instruction page from the FTB.
