CA LLC Form 568 (2025)?

I’m pretty livid. I just finished my 2025 taxes using TT Home & Business Desktop, only to find it doesn’t seem to do anything to fill out the California LLC Form 568. I don’t mean it doesn’t e-file it, as many on this forum have mentioned. I mean it didn’t ask me any questions pertinent to filling it out, it didn’t fill out a version of it for me to mail, nothing.

If I search for the form using Forms → Open a Form… I can find it and try to fill it out, but none of the computed fields can be filled out, and it doesn’t compute results. It certainly doesn’t carry over numbers from the federal forms.

Does TT even offer a product that does my state business taxes? I feel like I’m owed a refund from Intuit.
