CA Blind Exemption Credit

[BulldogTom]

I just had a returning client come in. Simple return. Rolled over from prior year. Nothing really different from prior years.

When I was reviewing the CA return with him, there was an extra exemption credit of $99 for being blind. He is not blind nor is his spouse. Could not find the place on the entry where you would check for being blind, although I did find the place to check for spouse being blind.

I ended up overriding the entry (which I hate to do) but I needed to finish the return.

Anyone know where the check box is for taxpayer being blind on the CA 540?

This may have been a one time glitch. I have not had this problem at all this year. Wierd.
