After you file

This is a very telling piece of data that someone filed with H&R Block and has the same issue as the TT community in that State of CA shows as pending.  Two things come to mind, rejection messages are not being transmitted properly back to H&R Block & TT from the FTB and also, it points to last minute changes by the FTB to the electronic forms that neither TT or H&R Block anticipated before letting users submit.   Now that H&R Block has same issue, not sure we can finger point at TT.  Would be interesting to get more information as to the exact issue between the Tax software providers and the FTB this year.
