Question

California e-file requirements for 100S

It appears that Turbo Tax Business will let me mail in my S-Corp CA 100S form.  However, the CA FTB says that any return prepared using tax software has to be e-filed.  The list of tax software at the FTB website, though, doesn't include TurboTax?

 

Am I allowed to mail my Federal and State S-corporation returns?

California waives the e-file requirement if the tax preparation software you use doesn't offer e-filing. You can click here to request an e-file waiver to mail with your return.

That doesn't answer my question.  You say "California waives the e-file requirement if the tax preparation software you use doesn't offer e-filing."  But it appears that TT does offer e-filing option for 100S, so why make this comment?

 

So isn't the answer to my question that CA does require my return to be e-filed? Or am I missing something.  Note that at the FTB website, where it lists tax preparation software, TT isn't mentioned.
