Thank you. I'll check with the company that prepared the return. If I can't find the information, would the conservative approach be to asssume that none of the $710 is exempt? In that case I'd be overpaying Ohio by likely less than $25.

TurboTax Business supports California state returns for corporations (100), S-corps (100S), partnerships (565), and LLCs (568), allowing e-file for most, though some forms may require mailing.  See this TurboTax webpage for access to purchase a download of TurboTax Business. Once you have the Federal return, to purchase a state download for TurboTax Business (Windows), open your federal return, navigate to the State Taxes tab, and select Download State from the top Online menu.    California requires electronic filing if you use software. Ensure that you download state forms when prompted, as they may be released later than federal forms.

You itemized so you do have an OBBB adjustment. The federal itemizes State and Local Taxes up to $40k while SC limits the amount to $10k. The program is correcting it for you. You should have a warning that OBBB adjusted your return and you are good to go. Verify your SC return is limiting the state and local taxes to $10,000. SC has extended the filing deadline to October 15. They could make retroactive changes. You can e-file if your return is correct or you can wait and see if SC changes anything. 

This behavior suggests that you somehow marked the box on the Do any of these situations apply page that indicates that you inherited this retirement account.  I suggest deleting and reentering the Form 1099-R, making sure to not mark the box that indicates that the account is not inherited.

Providing an ID is not required to file a federal return.  As both DoninGA and xmasbaby0 mentioned, you can just skip the screen that asks for drivers license information.   You could just mark that you do not have an ID and skip that section.     Why are you asking for my driver's license or state ID?   @user17752432175 

They said they were unable to access that information and that I should paper file which I did. I requested a refund of the $25 e-filing fee but am not optimistic that I will get it back and might dispute the charge with my credit card issuer.   What a mess!

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099  under Federal Taxes Wages and Income Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit  button   After you enter it keep going.  There are follow up questions you need to answer.  Especially look for if you lived in a Foreign country.  Should be No.

Yes. Medcare C is Medicare Advantage, a private, all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) offered by approved private companies. These plans combine hospital, medical, and usually prescription drug coverage (Part D) into a single plan, often including extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing.   If you can itemize deductions and your medical expenses are greater than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), then you should include these payments as part of your health care premiums.

I suspect that you mistakenly answered Yes when asked if this distribution was from a Roth IRA.  A designated Roth account in a 401(k), indicated by the code B, is not a Roth IRA, so you must answer No to this unnecessary question asked by TurboTax.
