You can answer the first question by going to the Forms view and looking to see if the 568 is there. It is not, so you can not do the 568 in the Fiduciary

To e-file, you would have to do a partnership return and generate the 568 in it. Screen 1 check the box for CA only.  Alternatively do it on paper via pdf form from the CA website and mail it. You would need to request an e-file waiver https://www.ftb.ca.gov/tax-pros/efile/business-eFile-waiver-request.asp
