Correcting form 568

[ihavequestions1212]

I made a single wrong selection (question U3) in CA form 568. I received a notice from Turbotax that the filing was rejected. How can I correct this? Can I do it electronically through TurboTax? If not, can I just refile the form or is there a specific process to correct the form?

Much appreciated!

Yes, you can fix this in TurboTax.  From What are the steps to fix my rejected return? here are the steps to do this in TurboTax Online:

1. "Sign in to TurboTax.
2. Select Fix my return to see your rejection code and explanation.
3. Select Fix it now and follow the instructions to update the info causing the reject.
4. Once you've fixed the error, select File and follow the instructions to either e-file or file by mail."

I don’t see where to ‘fix my return’  for just form 568

all my returns were accepted, but it said form 568 rejected.

I need to fix just that form and can’t figure out how to get to that form in TurboTax.

There are several situations in which Form 568 can't be e-filed. The situations are listed on the bottom of the form (page 2 underneath the signature section) as it appears in TurboTax.

One issue new this year is that California has added a letter in front of the EIN for new entities. If this applies, leave the letter off when entering the EIN in TurboTax. 

If this is for a single member LLC filing a Schedule C, TurboTax will create Form 568 based on the answers to the questions entered both in the Schedule C section (if this is a SMLLC disregarded entity) and the California interview. 

Since you said, if I understood correctly, both your Federal and California returns have been accepted and only the Form 568 was rejected, I recommend that you print the form and make the corrected U3 entry directly on the form.

Whenever you are unable to e-file Form 568, you can print it and mail it to:

Franchise Tax Board

PO Box 942857

Sacramento, CA 94257-0501 

Form 3522, the payment voucher, is not supported for e-filing.

To print a form in TurboTax Online, sign in, open your return, and navigate to Tax Tools > Print Center in the left menu. Select "Print, save, or preview this year's return," choose the desired forms, and select View or Print Forms. You must pay for your return or register (if free) before printing. 

If you are using a Desktop product, you can go to Forms Mode and make additional entries on the form if needed before printing.
