Partner has a K1 with box 13 code W showing legal & professional fees and management fees of $1,000 (formerly deductible by individuals under IRC 67 subject to 2% AGI floor).

I am attempting to do the entry on screen 20.1 so that the adjusted basis for federal and CA are correct but  the result is no deduction on the 1040 but CA gets the deduction.

My solution so far is to enter -1,000 under Separately Stated income and deductions on the "state if different" column  with nothing in the federal column.  Then I enter 1,000 under 18C non deductible expenses but if I don't enter -1 for CA under the state column  on 18C, the CA  adjusted basis Loss allowed by basis limitation doubles to 2,000. 

How should this be entered to keep CA and federal adj. basis correct and the 1040 and 540 correct? If I just entered it directly on schedule A, it would not tie to the K1 partnership information.

Thank you
