Filing requirements

You must file a Partnership Return of Income (Form 565) if you're:

• Engaged in a trade or business in California
• Have income from California sources
• Use a Pass-Through Entity Ownership (Schedule EO 568) to report any ownership interest in other partnerships or limited liability companies.
• If you have income or loss inside and outside California, use Apportionment and Allocation of Income (Schedule R) to determine California source income

Partners

Each partner must use a Partner's Share of Income Deductions, Credits, etc. (Schedule K-1 565) to report share of partnership’s income, deductions, credits, property, payroll, and sales.

General partnerships do not pay annual tax; however, limited partnerships are subject to the annual tax of $800.

CA FTB info on partnership return filing

You may need to delete the Form 568 and file Form 565 instead since it does calculate the $800 annual tax along with filing the CA partnership return information
