No, that non-solution does not work at all. Unless I uncheck the CA extension and pretend that it was never filed with payment and instead put the payment on the tax payments section of the federal return, the CA return can't be e-filed. I have several CA returns that need to be e-filed right now and I think it is ProSeries that needs to get off their butt not me that needs to do work-arounds. Is anyone at ProSeries paying any attention?
