I opened a CA LLC in 2019 and paid the $800 LLC fee in June 2019. TurboTax SE generated Form 568 with $800 on line 3 and $0 on line 7, so it shows $800 due. How to fix?

Try going to the Delete a Form and see if you can Delete the Form 568- How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

I need to file Form 568, which is the llc tax return. So I'm trying to find a way to get TurboTax to recognize the $800 payment. It's listed as a Fed Sch. C expense, but software isn't recognizing that this particular tax has been paid.

Did you file your return as a partnership or S Corp, or is it on your personal tax return as a Schedule C?

Als, did you pay this tax in 2019 or was it 2020?

If it is on your personal return and in 2019 you will go to the business section of the return

1. Select Business Income & Expenses
2. Select your business
3. Scroll to Business Expenses
4. Select Other Common Business Expenses
5. Scroll and select Taxes and Licenses
6. Post the tax here.

It's a Schedule C company and I paid the tax in 2019. The six steps @JohnB5677 proposed are how I originally recorded the payment, so it shows properly as an expense on the Schedule C, but doesn't carry over to the CA Form 568.

I also tried moving the payment to "estimated state taxes" and entered it as a Q3 payment, but that didn't work either.

You will need to enter the $800 payment in the state interview section itself.

When you see the following Single Member LLC filing show up with the form, you will need to enter your $800 payment on Line B - Amount paid with Form 3522 for this year.  

This will carry over and reflect your payment for 2019 on Form 568 for 2019.

Be aware, the Form 3522 for 2020 will also generate for you $800 payment due for the 2020 tax year.

Got it, thanks @JotikaT2! For anyone else with the same issue, go to the state section, then select the business, then the form pops up where you can manually enter/change pre-populated entries.

Hi John,

I have QBI under one LLC. After enter all my income, Turbotax created two Form 568s under the same name and EIN no. One F568 is for my business and another one is for my rents. Do you know why? Is there any new rule changed in 2019?

Many thanks,

Lisa

There a limits to deducting rental losses that do not apply to business losses. I believe that is why you have separate form 568's.

Hi @JotikaT2,

Could you please elaborate on the part "Be aware, the Form 3522 for 2020 will also generate for you $800 payment due for the 2020 tax year."

To give you some context, I had the same high level issue as @Anonymous (except for years 2020/2021), but didn't catch the omission until I had already submitted my returns. I will amend the return to correct line 7 and show that I paid $800 in 2020 for my annual tax, which I did last July via FTB Webpay.

The $800 payment you mention on Form 3522 for the current year (2021) doesnt't impact your actual return amount, correct? I just paid my annual tax for 2021 via FTB Webpay again and want to make sure I'm not somehow double-paying. I don't think that is the case, but hey, for $800 it's worth checking on! Thank you in advance.

The $800 annual LLC fee is due the year you first start your business, as well as each year after that that you are in business.
