I am efiling amended 1040-X and CA 540 with Sch X. I have checked the amended boxes on the profile screen. It is not allowing to efile the amended CA. Any suggestions?

When I try to efile, ProConnect tells me to do the following:  Complete these two steps to E-File Amendments:
On the Profile screen check the boxes in the E-FILE column for each desired agency in the Amendments filing section.
On the Input Return screen find the amendment form(s) and designate each desired tax return as an amendment.

I have done both of the two steps, but it is not allowing me to efile CA.

Hi there,

Make sure you still have the boxes checked for the "General", or main returns, checked as well:

Let me know if this doesn't resolve your issue.

Form 1040: Form 1040-X is included in this return. This return must be e-filed as an amended return. Please use E-file Amendment options in the File Return.

I am getting this message when I select to e-file the CA amended/superceded return. The 1040X is ready to e-file but the CA return is the one with the critical error.

click the box to ignore the message. I just did a chat and while weird, it worked and the CA return is now ready to e-file

I just e-filed the Superseded Federal 1040, but I could not get the CA E-file to be checked for E-file.  Now the return is locked.  What can I do now?  There is additional $95 due CA due to Corrected 1099-Div received after original return was filed.
