Typically, if the total California income from Form 568, Side 1, line is:

• Line 3–2021 Annual limited liability company tax. Enter the $800 annual tax here.
• Line 4–Nonconsenting nonresident members’ tax liability. Enter the total tax computed on Schedule T from Side 4 of Form 568.

• Line 7–Amount paid with Form FTB 3537, 2021 Form FTB 3522, and Form FTB 3536.  If the LLC is a nonconsenting, “nonresident owner” — which is defined as “partners, members, and shareholders that are non-residents of California in addition to beneficiaries of an estate or trust that are non-residents of California” — an amount will be entered on Line 15e of the Schedule K-1 from that LLC. 

In addition to amounts paid with Form FTB 3537, Form 3522 (specifically for the 2021 tax year), and Form 3536, the amount from Line 15e of the Schedule K-1 may be claimed on Line 7, but may not exceed the amount on Line 4.
