Superseded CA return with no change in tax not showing up? Is it needed?

The taxpayer is filing a superseded return. They end up owing the IRS $27 and no change at all to the CA tax. The Federal superseded return shows up as "pending" for efiling.  The California return does not

I created a Schedule X in California but can't find anywhere to indicate the return is superseded.  I don't think it is needed at all, with no change in the tax.

If I go to request another e-signature, even though only the Fed return is "pending"; it checks CA also and looks like it will create another request for CA.

Am I doing something wrong with California?

If there are no changes to CA, you don't need to file a superseded return.

Why are you bothering for $27 federal tax and -0- CA?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

For CA I won't bother, for the Fed, he owes $27.  Why shouldn't he pay it?  He received another 1099.  It'll be picked up eventually.

How much are you charging for the superseded return? More than $27?

I would have told the client to pay the bill if and when IRS sends him one.

Did you check the CA Amended to be EFiled on the Fed Info Worksheet?

FWIW< I wouldnt bother to amend the CA return if zero tax change.
