You can try using the Federal ID (EIN, Payer's ID) listed on your Form W-2 for the State ID and see if you are able to e-file.
You can also try to match the CA state ID number format using nines.
The proper format for a CA state ID is as follows: 999-9999-9.
If the TurboTax program tells you the specific format for a state ID, such as 9-digits and ending in XYZ, then enter a value that conforms to that format . . . such as 123456XYZ.
This may enable you to bypass the issue and e-file your tax return.
