The following diagnostic is generating: For amended California 540 returns, an amount of overpayment applied to next year is not allowed for amended electronic filing. What does this mean? The original return reflects an overpayment and the amended return reflect to change to tax, so why can't I amend a return with an overpayment being applied to year 2023? Electronically? but I can via paper return? why would that be. The amounts didn't change. Thank you, Larry

Same frustration as you, Larry.

My guess is that the FTB would doesn't want to spend time researching and possibly changing a number that affects the next year. So, they don't want to deal with it. In my return the overpayment has remained the same so I'm frustrate that they can't f-file it. There should be an exception.

Oh, more importantly, did you try to Disable e-file error?

SOLVED.

Don't tell LC to apply the overpayment to the next year. Leave the Apply Overpayment input field on Form 7 blank.
