If you have Home and Business 2019, you can use that to amend your 2019 return and add the 568. But it may be easier to do it on the FTB website, but it does need to be filed. And it can't be e-filed at this point unless the state website will do it, that I don't know. You can ask for a waiver of e-filing 568 for the current year and the 2 previous years, here.
The tax is deductible, the fee is not. Neither is the late portion of the fee, so $800 (which is tax) would be deductible as a business expense in the year you paid it.
Not sure if this applies to your 2019 situation, but I am including it and a link to more information on CA LCs. LLCs are not subject to the annual tax and fee if both of the following apply:
- They did not conduct any business in California during the taxable year; and
- Their taxable year was 15 days or less. (refer to R&TC 17946).
For 2020, see this discussion from earlier today. TurboTax will e-file your 568 as long as you don't have one of the exceptions listed on Page 1 - there is an image of the exceptions in that discussion. Hope this helps!
