Now that sites are beginning to prepare amended returns, we just wanted to post a reminder that through TaxSlayer Pro Online and TaxSlayer FSA, only Federal Amended Returns can be electronically filed. State amended returns must be paper filed at this time. We did mention in the Enhancement webinar presented in December 2023 that we expect to support State Amended E-file experience in the 2023 program. We do not have an ETA at this time but we will post to the blog once the State Amended E-file experience is in production.

Scenario: CA returns filed today are receiving CA Reject R0000-065. The calculation of the return is correct, but there is an extra document count going in the e-file causing the reject.
