FORM 3522 or 3588 for last year???

AALEXX · ‎April 02, 2025

I am using Turbo Tax to efile and CA form 568, and Turbo Tax generated 2 other forms as a result: form 3522 for year 2025 LLC tax & form 3588 for year 2024 LLC tax. Each form (3522 and 3588) has $800 CA LLC tax due.

I have not paid for the 2024 CA LLC tax last year.

Is it right? i am going to pay 3588 for 2024, instead of 3522.

Form 3522 is used to pay the annual LLC tax of $800 in California. This payment is required regardless of the LLC’s income or activity. This payment will be applied to the 2025 tax year.

Form 3588, on the other hand, is a payment voucher for LLCs that e-file their returns. It is used to pay any balance due on Form 568 (Limited Liability Company Return of Income). This is used to remit a payment for your 2024 LLC tax due. You are correct.
