California CA-540 Error

I keep getting this error when running the smart check. I do not understand what it means. Running program update does nothing. Any ideas?

I am getting the exact same error, but I have zero distributions. Have tried to get online update several times and nothing happens.

Hi. Mortgage adjustments should have nothing to do with IRA distributions. I believe that this is a program error. Called support today. 2 to 3 days for them to get back to me. Thanks for the feedback

This is a known error and TurboTax is working to correct the problem.

Same issue. I've been trying to subvert it for two days.

is there a reason why this is showing marked as "solved" while the text says a solution is still be searched for?

Yes the error still exists in the Turbo Tax program. They have not updated it yet to solve the issue. However since I originally asked the question it has been solved for me. I just wanted to know if anyone else was having the same issue. The answer posted as SOLVED linked to an acknowledgment by Intuit that it is being addressed.
