The correct statement is: Taxpayers may not opt out of e-file.
Explanation: If a preparer is subject to California's mandatory e-file rules (i.e., meets the preparer thresholds set by the Franchise Tax Board), the return must be filed electronically — the taxpayer cannot simply opt out and force a paper filing. Note that the preparer thresholds and other details can change, so check the California FTB guidance for the current year.
