TurboTax won't allow filing without California Secretary of State file (SOS) number. California does not require this for General Partnerships. but the Franchise Tax Board issues a 9 digit number. TurboTax does not validate a 9 digit number

turboTax Business 2021 is requesting a California Secretary of State File Number which General Partnerships are not required to have.   I have a 9 digit identification number for the general partnership.  TurboTax will not validate a 9 digit number and will not transmit the file.    dropping the first 2 zeros makes the number a seven digit number and then validates....but...this is ridiculous that this has been an issue for 2 years.  

 

All businesses (since 2015) must file electronically.  

 

I prefer to use the number since using all zeros will confuse the Franchise Tax Board.  

 

Has anyone found a solution?
