Spidell Publishing contacted the FTB, who said they are not releasing their own form 7203, so Spidell suggested that the FTB contact Intuit to address this erroneous diagnostic. Let's see who's right, but in the meantime, you can e-file returns without the CA form 7203 without being rejected. Lacerte still has the bogus diagnostic about Pub 536 not being available, which it has been as of Feb 28th, but Lacerte hasn't removed the diagnostic yet. Lots of fumbling going on at Lacerte this year, including the e-file latency that mysteriously also affected even normal program use last Monday...
