Can I deduct the $800 California Franchise Tax fee?

[peter1]

California charges an $800 Franchise Tax fee.

Is it deductible on my federal or state returns and if so, how do I do so?

Thank you

The California franchise tax fee may be deducted as a business expense under Taxes & Licenses.

See TurboTax here.
