DCN has too many characters . TurboTax "Expert" support unable to fix or find workaround
Hello;
I have an SCorp in California.
Using Turbotax online, I efiled Federal (1120S, etc). I later found a big error in my taxes and had to amend (+ mail) my federal Scorp return using Turbotax Business Desktop.
I am now attempting to efile state - California (Scorp) for the 1st time (ie, original).
In spite of multiple attempts to update the software, reinstall the software, use manual downloads to update the software, and use TTCleanState, I continue to have the following error that prevents me from efiling CA: "Check This Entry Electronic Filing Information: Dcn has too many characters".
TTSupport has been ... less than helpful with resolving this (chat support giving me AI generated responses, phone support escalating to supervisors but either the calls would just happen to disconnect or the supervisor wouldn't know what to do).
California requires efile for business returns. Don't tell me to mail it. Yes, there is an exemption to mail it, but CA would have to choose to allow it; they may still deny such and charge me $100 because of an issue on TT's part.
I am posting this just in case something magical happens and for CA FTB's purposes.
