OK - latest update.. I think there is a lot of confusion as I encountered this the first time with this silly error on Turbotax. I spoke to CA FTB and they suggested filing returns separately. Called TT again and here it is
> File Federal first and choose the option "Do not e-file my state return..."
> Once completed, come back and do the "State return..".
I plan to do this weekend and will update this forum accordingly
