Deductions & credits

Got it. Done that. But that is avoidance, not a TurboTax solution.

1. Responses from TurboTax support indicate that TurboTax "knows" about disaster declarations and should not calculate the penalty. I have not found the path to accomplish that.

2. The California return apparently does not have a similar path (let the California Franchise Tax Board calculate the penalty). The available strategy seems to be to request a waiver. But a waiver is not needed! There was no late payment.

In sum, I am looking for a TurboTax solution, rather than strategies to by-pass TurboTax.
