they make EFiling the 3519 with a payment super clunky, theres so many different things that need to be checked, its almost easier to just make the payment on the FTB Webpay website.

Start by unchecking the CA 540 EF box n the Fed Info Worksheet, and check the box for the CA State Extension. They wont let you have both boxes marked when you EF the extension.

Then when you move over the the CA return, the 3519 should already be generated.  On the 3519 mark the box to freeze amounts flowing to it and get it filled in with teh dollar amount, then there's a place for the date of withdrawal, then at the very end you have to enter the EF Pin date, just like you would if you were EF the actual return, thats the spot I always miss an it hassles me that it cant be EFiled.

Hi --

I think my question is the opposite of this.

I filed an extension for federal & California.  The client paid money to both entities, on their websites. 

Now I'm filing the final return. Where do I enter the amount that the client has already paid to California?

Thank you!
