Here are the steps for both an LLC and a Partnership Form 1065 (they are different forms in California).

LLC:

1. On the California Information Worksheet, check the box just above Part III "Form 3804 Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax" and use the QuickZoom link to open Form 3804.
2. On Form 3804, check the box for identification number you wish to use (typically FEIN). Note the total tax on Line 3.
3. Open Form 3893 (PTE) and check the box to activate the form. Enter the total tax to be paid from Form 3804 Line 3 to the bottom of Form 3893.
4. Open Sch K-1 Wks and check the box for each partner to indicate consent to use Form 3804.
5. Open Form 568 p5-6 and scroll down to Credits Line 15f. Enter a description for the PTE Tax Credit from Form 3804 and the total amount in the middle column. This step will allocate the tax credit to all Schedules K-1.
6. Review each California Schedule K-1 Line 15f to confirm the allocated amount matches Form 3804. The supplemental information is presented under Line 22.
