This is so incredibly frustrating. A simple fix, and here we are two years from the original post/report and it has not been fixed.
TurboTax for Business, 2020 still has two incorrect checks that block e-filing.
1. "Secretary of State file number must contain at least 12 digits"
2. "Secretary of State file number must begin with the digits 19 or 20"
Both are wrong. California gives corporations seven digit file numbers. Maybe not all corporations are given seven digit numbers, but many of them are. And they don't begin with 19 or 20.
