The State of California requires a separate business tax return for LLC Members or Owners and are independent of your personal tax return.
From the State of California:
This yearly tax will be due, even if you are not conducting business, until you cancel your LLC.
- You have until the 15th day of the 4th month from the date you file with the SOS to pay your first-year annual tax.
- Example: You form a new LLC and register with SOS on June 18, 2020. Your annual LLC tax will be due on September 15, 2020 (15th day of the 4th month)
- Your subsequent annual tax payments will continue to be due on the 15th day of the 4th month of your taxable year.
So, in your situation, your first month of July is considered as part of the count.
That means, July, August, September, October... 15th.
My understanding is you would be exempt for that short-period, but then must file your annual business tax return by October 15th every year and pay a minimum of $800, until you close your business with the California Secretary of State.
