CA M-1 and M-2 Inquiry & ERC implementation

Hello,

 

My question is regarding the Schedule M-1 and Schedule M-2 for the State of CA. 

1) Should the schedule M-2 basically be the beginning retained earnings plus/minus the Schedule M-1 Net income?

2) If #1 above is true, then for items like the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) will I have to make an adjustment on Schedule M-2 to show that it increases the retained earnings balance? 

3) For items such as the Corp State Minimum tax ($800) will this also have to be adjusted on schedule M-2 since it increases retained earnings for the State of CA? (Taxable) 

 

Thank you
