CA form 568 for SMLLC for married couple

My wife and I own our our business as an SMLLC and are a disregarded entity. For Federal purposes on the 1099 we split the expenses evenly. However, when we get to the California state portion of our taxes, Turbo Tax automatically separated our two incomes and expenses when it comes to filling out Form 568 and entered the information into two form 568s. I manually changed one of the forms to reflect our single business, but am unsure if I should just delete the second form that was created since the question they ask is "Is [your business name as identified in the 1099] owned by a single member LLC?" even though the information is already entered into the first form.

And, because I have two forms now, it appears that Turbo Tax will not e-file the one form for me. Will deleting that second form change this problem?

Thx!

Yes, you can delete one of the 568s and TurboTax should allow you to e-file.

It still won't allow me to e-file Form 568, and other posts have experienced the same thing. Other posts I have read say that multi-member LLC's can, but that Turbo Tax does not do so for single member LLCs. One post from 2020 reads:

As TurboTax Expert AndreaC1 found:

TurboTax Business only handles the multi-member LLC, not single-member. If you are using TurboTax Home & Business desktop version or Self-Employed online version, the Form 568 has to be printed and mailed.

To confirm that you must mail California Form 568 for a SMLLC, follow these steps:

Open your return and click the Forms icon in the TurboTax header.
Scroll down to the California forms and click on Form 568 under Sch C Wks to open the form in the large window.
Scroll down to Line U(1) and verify if the Yes box is checked. If not, you cannot e-file the form.
Scroll down to the bottom of the form.
If the box is checked, you must print and mail Form 568.
Click the Errors icon in about the forms list to open a message box at the bottom of the open form that may explain this situation more fully.
