State tax filing

You can e-file a CA return that has a Schedule C, but if you take a home office deduction on your Schedule C, even if you use the simplified method, you can't e-file your California return.  The home office deduction is calculated on Form 8829 and as you can see from this list, Form 8829 is not able to be e-filed in California.  :(     @tarltonm
