California form 3840

<P>I had California real property (1 parcel) that I exchanged into 3 real properties in Nevada in 2017. I've used TurboTax for the past couple years and have consistently had problems with this form e-filing. It is completed correctly but get error check messages that the property description must be completed on Schedule A Part II. The form's directions clearly state to leave blank for real property. If it's blank I have errors and can't complete the filing process. When I put a description in the field it rejects e-file. It's frustrating and have had this problem for the past 2 filing seasons. I used a professional software program in 2017, 2018 and 2019 without issue. I believe there is definitely a glitch in the software of TurboTax but doesn't seem to get fixed since it doesn't affect many filers. It is very frustrating to have to paper file after spending the money to efile. I'm going to paper file again but does anyone know how to fix this?</P>

The percentage is only required to be entered if you are apportioning income between more than one state. If all of the proceeds were strictly from a California property, you would not need to enter anything.
