All those forms are ready now.  I efiled California 540.  Are you on Windows or Mac?  Did you try rebooting your computer?   Maybe you need to update Windows?   You might need to clear your cache and cookies.  Have you tried to efile?

I'm using TT desktop version and completed my California 540 return on 2/27/25 including form 3801. Printed everything and mailed it in, no problems on my end.

Best is to discuss this directly with Intuit.
