Does Turbo tax Business efile CA FORM 568 for single member LLC or only for multi member LLC? I'm hearing different answers on that

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. Form 568 for single-member LLC's can't be e-filed in any of the TurboTax product versions. The State of California’s Franchise Tax Board will allow you a waiver based on a few reasons, and due to technology constraints of the software you are using, you can request the e-file waiver.

I have to say I am in the same boat as all of the frustrated folks on this forum.

TurboTax:   FIX YOUR SOFTWARE!  It's archaic to think that you can't e-file such a simple Form 568 for Single Member LLC's.  Seriously ridiculous.  And it's not clear in your software program.  We are getting notices now from FTB asking where our 568 forms are for 17 & 18.   I told her we e-filed and I had proof of the e-file.  I guess I am not finding out that Turbotax has to be a 'waiver' to paper file because of 'technology constraints.'   Laughable at best!   It was fun spending hours today on the phone with FTB, meanwhile the whole time I want to cuss out Intuit TurboTax for being the most expensive software out there and when you buy Home & Business, they can't even support single-member LLC Form 568 Filings.  

If I were the Franchise Tax Board, I would NOT grant a waiver due to technology, I would pressure TurboTax to not be lazy and actually make a software program that e-files.   

Great job guys!  Alternative Software here I come.... Unless you want to do right by all the thousands of customers I'm sure you fleeced and pay all the penalties we will owe.   

Maybe you decided to help California get some additional tax $$$ through penalties?   Nah, you're just lazy.  Kudos.

I just finished filing 2021 on extension using Turbotax Delux. This is my first year having a SMLLC. It made me fill out form 568 manually with nothing auto-filled except total income on line 1, and no help or instructions for the rest of the fields.  I had to go to the FTB website and manually search & pull instructions, tables & worksheets. When complete Turbotax said it would not e-file the form and that I had to print & mail it AFTER obtaining an e-file exemption from the FTB, because I had a depreciation/amortization (and one other thing I can't remember now) off a list of about 12 things which Turbotax gave at the bottom of the form as items which would mean it couldn't/wouldn't e-file the form. After doing some checking it seems that it's the same in the Self-Employed and Home & Business versions as well, so glad I didn't waste money upgrading. Will Turbotax have this fixed for 2022?

They didn't e-file mine. They also didn't give me correct information on where to send my form 568. I had to waste days figuring out what happened with FTB. They said they didn't have 2017-2020 form 568. It ended up being the wrong postal code on the address turbo tax provided. Turbo tax provided an address to send the $800 payment , which is where I sent the payment and form 568. THE PROBLEM WAS, This is the wrong address for form 568, and turbo tax didn't give me any info on this. Very disappointed!

I file a CA 568 for my single person LLC. TurboTax said I must file it manually but after I filed my individual CA return with TT, I got an email saying my "CA LLC Filing return was accepted." Both can't be true. Should I go ahead and send in the paper form? The 568 is the only LLC form that gets filed, except my annual tax that was paid in January.
