Mistake on some tax forms could cost California homeowners

 

SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state agency that prints tax forms says a mistake on some of them could cost California taxpayers.

The Franchise Tax Board says early versions of Schedule CA (540), California Adjustments, tells filers to enter information from the wrong federal tax box.

The form is used to make adjustments to federal adjusted gross income and claim itemized deductions.

Taxpayers could miss claiming their home mortgage interest, points, mortgage insurance premiums and investment interest, the board said.
