Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I'm not particularly familiar with California taxes, but a "business" tax of $800 sounds like California's annual $800 tax on LLCs.  Your wife's business is a sole proprietorship and is presumably not an LLC, so I don't see where there would be any extra $800 California tax on her self-employment income.  It seems unlikely that this has anything to do with your individual income tax return; the $800 annual LLC tax is paid separately.  It might make sense to ask the FTB if the $800 tax is the annual tax on LLCs and ask why they think that you or your wife have an LLC.
