Why are so many California forms ineligible for e-filing? Form 2106, etc. Is the a ProSeries limitation or and FTB issue?

It looks like that there are many California Forms still available to file that have been eliminated by the Feds via tax reform. Nearly all of these Forms have been eligible for e-filing forever but appear to be ineligible for efiling in 2018 to the FTB.  Is this the case? Example: Form 2106. Is this a limitation of the FTB or ProSeries? If this isa Proseries limitation is there a plan to correct this problem.   I can't imagine needing to file a couple hundred paper returns this season but be need to juggle staff if that is the case.  Any clarity on this issue would be very helpful.

I have Ca installed and just reviewed my own return, it contains the 2106 for my husbands work expenses, it doesn't tell me its ineligible...where do you see that message?  Are they getting rejected by the state of CA when you file?

Ive never had a return ineligible for E-filing by the state of CA.

California DID NOT conform to the federal changes and misc. itemized deductions are still deductible on a CA tax return.
