State tax filing

Good news (and bad news)!! 

 

CA 541-a became available this morning.

 

Was able to finally complete the CA tax return for a Trust. e filed both federal and state 1041/541 this AM--feds accepted the 1041, CA rejected the 541 return.  TurboTax in the let's look at your return has this "CAFTB records indicate that you are not authorized to submit a tax return of a type and for a tax year specified in the Submission Manifest."  I had to download sign and upload the IRS 8452-FE form to turbotax before I efiled the 1041 form. TurboTax just had me download  and sign the CA 8452-FID form to keep for my records. I wonder if the state is expecting the 8453-FID form to be efiled with the 541?  I have printed out the return and will mail it in.

 

Very strange. Not sure if was really worth the extra $50 for the state portion of TurboTax Business.
