Modernized e-File (MeF) is Unavailable Due to an Extended Maintenance Window

 MeF Production and Assurance Testing System (ATS) are currently unavailable due to an extended maintenance window.  The MeF systems will be available at 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

Please monitor the MeF Operational Status page for any future updates.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

2020 CA Individual efiles

  Any CA individual efiled returns that were submitted prior to January 29, 2021 will reject with the following error code:

<ErrorMessage>Your State submission does not match the latest published FTB Schema or is not well formed. You must contact your software provider to resolve this error.</ErrorMessage>

<RuleNumber>X0000-010</RuleNumber>

<DataValue> Line Number: 2. Position: 174. Reason: The 'returnVersion' attribute is invalid - The value '2020v4.0' is invalid according to its datatype 'String' - The Enumeration constraint failed.</DataValue>

 

This is due to a schema update from CA.  If you have returns that reject with that error, make sure you have the recent state module downloaded, and recreate the efile and resend.
