I don't see CA Form 568 on my return for a single-member LLC

[boulderbrewer]

I marked one of my businesses as a single member LLC, but TurboTax Self-Employed did not generate Form 568 for California. How do I get it to populate that form?

Hello, Any update? Did you have to amend your taxes to get the form 568 to populate?

HOW DO I GET IT

[TerryA]

berttitoo - see the Answer below - that's how you "get it"

[TerryA · Accepted solution]

You said you "marked" a business as SMLLC, but be sure by Editing your TT/Calif business and there is a screen Is <name> owned by a single member LLC?. Click Yes. That activates the Form 568 and populates it with as much information from the Calif Sch C Worksheet as it can.

Hi Turbo Tax Terry, Any update for 2017? No from 568 populated for me. Should I amend to find form?

[TerryA]

The answer from a year ago is still the way to do it. Amending has nothing to do with "activating" the 568.

Where is the screen that shows "is <name> owned by a single member". I spent 45mins on the phone with TT advisor and he was enable to explain how to bring up form 568. Please help!

That's in TT/Calif - Edit your business - you have to "go" to your business in TT/Calif. The screen is down that Step-by-Step path.

Ok, Thank you Terry! So I was in the same boat as Tony. I previously filed my taxes earlier in the year but didn't see this form populate
 - or not download it during the initial run through - so I had to start to amend my taxes to dive back in. It was the last thing I had to do for this years taxes and freakingA it was a pain......So again, I started 'amending my taxes' > I clicked on my State section>Said 'No' I haven't filed the admendent yet>Continue>Click on 'State' in left column menu>Continue>Action/Edit for California>'No' I'll amend later>No for electronic payments>no for dependent children>scroll down to business to adjust profit or loss to 'revisit'>edit> and you are there to ultimately be able to print out the file!!!!

Hey Terry -  I wonder why this year's TT had such a wacky change in the first place? I used to only need to  pull out the Form 568 included in the State section and send it - a beautiful design!

 This year, it's giving me goose bumps searching for the Form 568 after the e-filing was finished and all a sudden it came to my attention that the Form 568 is missing :(   Also, I have been trying to reach live support to search for form 568 even after the notes above, but to no avail after an hour.

I have already finished e-filing to Federal and State already and am having the filed tax return in front of me... What did it mean to "go" to business in TT/Calif, exactly? Should I open an empty, unfilled tax return to "go" to TT/Calif, or can I use Topic search?

Here is what I found about form 568.

 1. to enable TT to create a form 568 for you, go to (instructions for Desktop on Mac, they are similar for the online version).
  > state taxes > california  edit > income and adjustment  edit > business profit and loss adjustment  revisit > principal business  edit > yes

 2. the state of california requires to e-file, yet TT does not efile 568. Therefore you need to request a waiver at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.ftb.ca.gov/professionals/busefile/Business_eFile_Waiver_Request.asp">https://www.ftb.ca....> and enter  technical limitations

 3. print and mail 568.

Hope my 6 hours of research and multiple calls help others!

@tony glandil  Thanks so much for sharing -  Your answer has been super helpful in addressing the missing links in TT. I believe you deserve a big award from Intuit!

TT premier doesn't print it for some reason. The form is kept as 2 different work pages and any attempt to print by drilling down to "forms" only prints one of the other
