Client received a revised 1099-DIV from a broker. I figured out that there’s a change on clients owe amount on federal but there’s no change on CA state. Do I still need to amend it on CA state (ProSeries only paper-file) even if there’s no change in amou

Nope.

What do you mean Lisa, I still have to submit CA amendment tax return? Thanks.

If the changes didnt change the tax liability on CA, then no amended return needs to be filed for CA.

In regards to form 1040-X, the client still did not pay his original e-filed owe. Can I put zero (0) on "Original 2020 Return Payments Smart Worksheet, line B" so he can pay what's in the amended tax return amount instead? Thanks again.

If he hasnt paid, yes, I would put zero and pay the whole thing with the 1040X.
