E filing of Amended individual Return for California

[ramras_8]

Does ProSeries support E filing of  2020 California Amended Return for Individual?  How come in Part VII of the Federal Info Worksheets California is not one of the states listed on the drop down menu? I checked the  updated status of the form  and it says EF Not Allowed. Is it because e-filing is not supported or is it because the form is not final yet?

Per Lisa's answer to the same question minutes ago.... PS does not support CA Amended efiling.  Yet. Maybe next year....

Not sure if the information has changed.  I noted that the Part VII of the Federal Info Worksheets California is now listed on the drop down menu.

Does it mean Proseries is now capable of e-filing CA 540X?

Hi, I'm trying to file an amended CA return for 2021, it gives me the option to do it but then keeps giving me an error saying I need to uncheck efile CA on the Fed worksheet, I do that and it still give me the same error, I'm going in circles. Does the program suppose efiling and amended return in CA

I uploaded my first CA amended return (Form X).  However, ProSeries returns a processing error that Type "Other" (see below).  There is no other selection, other than

Amended Return Rejected

To correct an error relating to a binary attachment, follow these steps.

6. If the Type 'Other' has been selected, review the Description that has been entered. Verify that no special characters (#, $, !) or extra spaces have been entered.

Remove and re-attach the PDF file within the program, and then transmit the return from the same computer on which the attachment was added. If this reject persists, you can re-enter the return from scratch as there might be an issue with the file. Otherwise, this return should be filed as a conventional paper return.

what are you uploading? Nothing needs to be attached.

Complete the amendment and mark the EF box for CA amended on the FED Info worksheet, you dont attach anything, it sends everything needed automatically.

Hello,

I am also trying to Efile an amended CA-non resident tax return, and it has been rejected 5 times already with the same error message.

However, I am attaching a 3 page PDF as supporting documentation to explain where I got the numbers. I called the Proseries support line and they cannot figure this out (no surprise as I have no had good experience with Proseries support) and they are saying it has nothing to do with Proseries, but rather the PDF document itself.

Any advice?

Thank you!
