CALIF FORM 8453-OL

[Marcie123]

Turbo Tax indicated that after e-filing a California Individual Tax Return that Form 8453-OL must be signed and dated with 1 day of acceptance (I assume by CA FTB).  The CA ITR was accepted by California.  Now, what do I do to submit the California Form 8453-OL?  I do NOT see anywhere to "electronically sign and e-file the form in the TurboTax program. 

 I just read in TurboTax (vague instructions)...

"Sign form FTB 8453-OL after you prepare the return, but before you transmit it. "  Which "it" are the instructions referring to?  "Form 8453-OL" or the "California Personal Income Tax Return" that was e-filed?
CALIFORNIA FORM 8453-OL indicates that there are "no taxes due"  and "no refund due".   DOES THE Form 8453-OL HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED?  If so, how?

CA 8453-OL is a totally stupid form.   CA wants you to simply print, sign and KEEP the form in your records.   It is to tell YOU that you authorized yourself to e-file..   You do not do anything with the form.

It is really to authorize a paid tax preparer to e-file and has no meaning whatsoever for a self prepared tax return.    But the CA FTB, in all it's wisdom, has never seen fit to update it's regulations to recognize self-prepared tax returns - so the form lives on even in self-prepared tax software.
