However, did the person you spoke to at the CA FTB tell you both conditions that must be met in order to not file the CA 568 nor pay the $800 for the year?
Please see the following:
D. Who Must File
An LLC may be classified for tax purposes as a partnership, a corporation, or a disregarded entity. The LLC should file the appropriate California return.
Form 568 must be filed by every LLC that is not taxable as a corporation if any of the following apply:
- The LLC is doing business in California.
- The LLC is organized in California.
- The LLC is organized in another state or foreign country, but registered with the California SOS.
- The LLC has income from California sources (Nonregistered foreign LLCs, see Exceptions to Filing Form 568, below).
An LLC is not required to file a tax return and is not subject to the annual tax and LLC fee if both the following are true:
- The LLC’s taxable year is 15 days or less.
AND
- The LLC did not conduct business in the state during the 15 day period.
