Wanted to post/share an update: I received an "ACTION NEEDED" (in all caps) text and email from Turbo Tax with instructions to check my federal deductions because intuit "detected a potential issue in my California return due to an error in our software."
I followed the instructions but nothing needed to be changed; I didn't have to add my county as some who posted to this string apparently did. I clicked "check my return", and saw a note on screen saying it had not been transmitted due to a potential error with the software! I resubmitted my return, and it's back in "pending" status.
I wish intuit/Turbo Tax had been more forthcoming with information instead of providing untrue information, blaming it on the state, and creating all this drama over misinformation. Thanks to those of you who joined the discussion and shared info, especially @mslatinlady!
