State form 568 and not notice from turbo tax of need to file seperately

if, as i've seen in the threads, Turbo Tax cannot efile CA State 568, why doesn't it produce the form for submission by mail, and why doesn't the product notify me that it won't produce the form or efile?

Form 568 is ready for e-filing in TurboTax.   However, there are some situations that are not supported for e-file.   In these cases, TurboTax cannot e-file this LLC return due to one or more of the reasons below.  It will need to be printed and mailed, and you will need to file a waiver With the California Franchise Tax Board.  You may still e-file your California Individual Income Tax return. 

 

 

  • Amended return 
  • LLC is apportioning on Schedule R (Line M1) 
  • Nonconsenting members liability (Line 5) 
  • Withholding on 592/593 (Line 11) 
  • Non-disregarded business entity (Line U1) 
  • Gain or loss on Schedule D-1 (Sch B Line 8-9) 
  • Depreciation/amortization on 3885L (Sch B Ln 17a) 
  • Farm profit or loss (Schedule B Line 6/7) 
  • PTE Elective Tax (Line 4) 

 

How do I know if I need to file Form 568?

My issue is that through what ever mechanism within the CA state interrogation single member limited liability get checked on schedule C, so it didn't populate 568, nor did it notify me one way or another that it wouldn't be efiled, or I had to mail it in. 

 

In that I'm still very new to the LLC world, and I relied heavily on TurboTax Home & Business, to ensure I had all my bases covered, this appears to be a glaring hole in your business/system logic. I'm now in the position of having to file late with this form. And though I recorded a loss this first tax year, I'm concerned I'm going to end up with a penalty and potentially flagged for future filings.

 

As I said in my notes on the survey sent me on this issue, I'm impressed with the support person, her patients and tenacity, in working through all her internal service notes to find a way around the system to hit that check box on State Schedule C, Row J, that triggered the population of F568. But I'm deeply disappointed in the product for the failure to prevent the issue in the first place.

I have checked every reason stated that Turbo Tax cannot e-file and they are OK.  Why can't Turbo tax show me the specific reason for the rejection?  Everything is correct.  

  • Amended return 

    (not checked) 

  • LLC is apportioning on Schedule R (Line M1) 

    (do not have a schedule R)

  • Nonconsenting members liability (Line 5) 

    (blank)

  • Withholding on 592/593 (Line 11) 

    (blank)

  • Non-disregarded business entity (Line U1) 

    (U1,2,3 all checked NO)

  • Gain or loss on Schedule D-1 (Sch B Line 8-9) 

    (do not have a schedule D-1)

  • Depreciation/amortization on 3885L (Sch B Ln 17a) 

    (do not have schedule B)

  • Farm profit or loss (Schedule B Line 6/7)

     (do not have schedule B)

  • PTE Elective Tax (Line 4)

I have the exact same problem and it's so frustrating! Why doesn't this just work?? There is no specific reason given, it just keeps sending me in a circle.

Please check Form 568 using Forms Mode to be sure you are eligible to e-file this California form.

  1. After you open the form, click the Errors icon at the top of the right column. This opens a message box below the open form.
  2. Note the checkbox on Line M(1) that may indicate you are not eligible to e-file Form 568.
  3. When you reach Side 7, you can print Form 568 if you need to mail it.
  4. Follow the instructions for the Payment Voucher.
