Hi, are there other tax professionals who use Drake in California. As of today, I still cannot print the California tax returns. I am just getting practically blank pages with a watermark "Client Copy Do Not File" on it. Do you have the same problem?

I don't use Drake in California, however I use Drake and have California resident clients. Yes...it is a mess. The CA 540 is as you described.

Just curious, is this a general problem or just limited to Drake? For those of you who use other tax software, do you have the same problem?

Drake is still waiting for software updates from Franchise Tax board . All the tax forms have not been approved (similar to federal) .

ProFx has the California Form 540 and all of the other forms but it has a gray box that says something like " Preliminary Forms Do Not File" on all of the pages
