I am trying to file my California State return and it tells me I need to update the information sheet. Everything is correct. I have looked at all solutions listed and nothing works. I could just print and mail it but I already paid for e-file.

    If TurboTax says you need to update the information sheet to e-file your California state return, it usually means the program wants you to review and verify certain details. Even if your data looks correct, TurboTax may require a step to confirm or refresh some information.

    Try these steps:
    1. Go to the California state return section in TurboTax.
    2. Look for an "Information Sheet" or "State Information" section and open it.
    3. Review all your entries carefully and make sure nothing is missing or out of sync.
    4. Save or confirm the information sheet again to trigger the update.
    5. After that, try to e-file the California return again.

    If this doesn't work, sometimes signing out and back into TurboTax or clearing your browser cache can help refresh the program's state.

    Since you paid for e-file, printing and mailing is an option, but trying these steps may resolve your e-file issue.
