According to the Forms Availability Table for TurboTax Business, California LLC forms are all available for e-filing. Be sure to allow TurboTax to update when you open your business return.

Hi Patricia,

I'm still not seeing it; is there a way to get technical support to review my account?

[PatriciaV]

Let's see if we can add a state to your business return using the instructions below. Note that you are NOT actually changing your return - you are simply opening your return again, so you have access to your entries.

•  Log into TurboTax Business Online using the same username and password as you did before.
•  Click on Tax Home from the menu on the left.
•  Scroll down and find Your tax returns & documents, 
•  Select the current tax year, then click on Add a State.
•  You now have access to your entire return. You may navigate using the tabs as you did while entering your information. Do NOT change anything on the federal return, in case you do actually need to amend your return.
• Click on State Taxes (Your State Returns) in the left menu.
• If your state is already listed, Continue and follow the interview. Otherwise, click "Add a State."

Post to this thread if you encounter any problems with this process.

Hi Patricia, tried this but no option to "Add a State"

[DaveF1006]

It depends. Are you showing us the entire page? Have you scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page?  It is usually located there. Also, check to see if there's an option to amend your return. I don't see it on your screen but this also may be at the bottom of this page.

This is the  bottom of page and there's nowhere to amend or file state.

I just went ahead and filed by paper today.

I don't expect a refund but is there a way to check if it was approved? (STATE 568 California)

California has a "Where's my refund?" tracker but not a "Did you approve my return?" tracker.  If you mailed them a check with your return then you'll know that it is being processed as soon as the check clears.  After that if there is a problem with the return they will contact you.
