I am trying to file my CA partnership return (CA 565) with 2025 TurboTax Business (Windows Desktop version), and the program is preventing me from E-filing because of a lack of a CA SOS file number. I was able to successfully E-File my federal partnership return (Form 1065).
When I go through the File State Return Now workflow, I reach a Transmit Returns Now page. After pressing the button to file, I am taken to a step titled "We Need to Make One More Check", then "Reviewing Your Return", then "Check this Entry" requesting that I enter my CA SOS File No. My partnership is a small 3-partner general partnership and CA does not require a SOS File No to E-file (I checked this). However, TurboTax Businsess still prevents me from E-Filing (for lack of a number). I tried entering '0000000' and '9999999' as a work around, but TurboTax Business accepts neither of these as well, and continues to prevent me from E-Filing with California (forcing met through the workflow again, repeatedly).
Does TurboTax confirm this problem, and is there any plan to fix it?
Thanks!
