State tax filing

I was able to get past this problem by doing the following:

  • Enter the "Forms" view for your return
  • Navigate down to the CA Forms in the left-hand navigation pane (I needed to "expand" the list, since that was not done by default
  • My "Info Worksheet" form had the red exclamation point symbol indicating an error.
  • Select that form, and clear every item that TT is complaining about (in my case, that was my name, my spouses name, our address, and our SSN
  • Close the return.  TT automatically refills the information, so you may see an update to the "Info Worksheet" form.
  • Re-open the return and check that there are no longer any errors reported for the California "Info Worksheet"

At that point, I was able to e-file successfully.
