CA Tax Return FAILED_VALIDATION during Transmit Returns Now

Hello, 

 

I get an error message telling me "There is an update for your version of Turbo Tax" when attempting to Transmit my California Individual Tax Return.  I'm using Windows 11 Home and it is 100% up to date.  I've also confirmed that my 2024 Turbo Tax is up to date, and have downloaded the individual "superpatch" file from the Intuit website.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Turbo Tax multiple times and still nothing... what is the fix??

 

I was able to Transmit my Federal Tax Return without issue, just not the California return.

 

Please help!

Thanks

Try this:  State install/e-file update loop: State not installed after installation or TurboTax needs to update prior to e-file

Same issue for me (CA FAILED_VALIDATION error); I even tried uninstalling TT and reinstalling. No joy.

The list of supported CA forms shows Federal Schedule A is "unsupported," which is kind of ridiculous -- every prior year of TT supports it. Is there a pending update that will add support for Schedule A (and other unsupported forms)?
