Excess SDI requirement for CA. Electronic submission blocked

I am trying to e-file my CA state return and getting a final error message that I need to include a non-zero amount under excess SDI. I am retired and have NO W-2s as I am not employed by anyone. My income is derived from pensions, Social security and some annuities. I did have CA state tax withheld from some of those. Why won't Turbo-tax just let me indicate 0 for excess SDI as it is irrelevant if it only applies to employed people?

Your question is reasonable - someone with no W-2s should not have the opportunity for excess SDIs.

Are you using the Online product or the desktop product?

Is this error message from the CA e-file system or from TurboTax? Is there an error code?

It is coming from the "final check" process in TurboTax prior to e-filing of the CA return. Actually I dont know that either federal OR state return has actually been submitted. All I know is that it won't let me proceed anything to completion.

No error code, just recycles me back to the excess SDI portion of the return, requesting that I change the 0 value to something but 0 IS the correct value in my case.
