Hello! I filed my 2021 California tax return on 2/14/2022 and received a notice of rejection, saying that the return was rejected due to a problem with my charitable contributions. I am a senior citizen who takes the standard deduction, and in 2021 I made $236 in charitable contributions, all of which I listed individually in TurboTax. Today I logged into TurboTax to fix any discrepancies that caused my return to be rejected, but TurboTax didn't show me what to change, and when I again ran the review for my state, it showed no errors. How can I file my tax return without fixing the errors that caused it to be rejected in the first place unless I know which errors exist?

Your CA rejection is due to an internal error that was fixed on 2/17/2022. Please see this TurboTax FAQ, for more information, How do I file my return after receiving CA_CharitableContributions_Hold?

I resubmitted mine after doing the CA update and it was rejected again. I checked for updates today and none were available. What are we supposed to do now?

My CA 540 rejection said "spouse SSN cannot match apreviously accedpted return unless the superceded return or amended return checkbox is checked." This was not an amended or superceded filing for 2021 State CA 540. Need help.

@oberhausenmoney It possibly sounds like an identity theft issue where someone has filed a tax return using your spouse's name and SSN. Please go to the following link if you think you may be a victim of identity theft. Also check around with family members to see if anyone has claimed your spouse on their return.
