Lacerte help now says that you can generate multiple SMLLC returns within a 1040 for CA.

I followed the instructions, and it doesn't work.

Anyone have any pointers?

The instructions say that "each SMLLC must have its own EIN or Identification Number."  Since these SMLLC's do not have payroll, an EIN is not required, so all I have is the CA SOS file number for each.  Also, the Schedule E input screen does not even have a place to enter an EIN.

Have been on hold for support for 35 minutes.  Don't really expect them to answer, and they close in about an hour.

Any help is appreciated
