I'm having a similar problem. My e-file was rejected and even though I may have fixed the problem the program will not let me e-file again. I think I am required to e-file rather than mail.
I know where the problem is. On form 5805 I started to fill out the short method Part II lines 7-13 before I realized I needed to use Part III instead. For some reason Line 13 populated with the penalty from the annualized form and there are two values that seem to be missing on the dotted line. There are no instructions for those values on the program or on the FTB instructions.
If I override the penalty in line 13 then the penalty on from the annualized worksheet doesn’t show on the 540 line 113.
I can’t seem to find the combination that works and I need to file on the 23rd!
