answer was:  PTax Year 2016 and Prior The state of California does not currently allow Form 540X refunds to be applied to next year's tax. Note: Form 540X has been replaced with Schedule X beginning Tax Year 2017;

Okay then why no diagnostic because Lacerte carried over the additional refund to 2018 and caused a problem on the 2018 return which we found out via a FTB notice.
