Turbo Tax Home & Business and CA Form 568/3522 for Single Member LLC

[Brian07]

Hi all,

I'm a California Single Member LLC and just finished filing with Turbo Tax 2019 Home & Business. 

When I got to the state tax section, particularly form 568, I received the below notice:However, what exactly is "prompted?" My box was highlighted yellow as you can see, but there was no pop-up prompt that clearly indicated what needed to be done.

I proceeded with my return and I WAS able to file my CA return, but based on that section and my reading I think I may need to file 3522/568 by mail still? 

So, here are my questions:

1. Does something in my snippet qualify as the "prompt" to indicate that I need to file for the waiver and file 3522 and 568 by mail?

2. If I do need to file by mail, this means mailing payment too, right? In my case, I only owe the $800 minimum. I actually already received my refund from the State of CA, so I don't want to mail in a check for $800 if that was already taken care of.

4. Am I able to pay the $800 online? If they do and I pay online, do I still need to mail either 568 or 3522 in?

Sorry for such a long post, but there is a lot of convoluted and piece-meal information out there. Not only will this help me, but I think having it in one place will help a lot of others as well.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Brian

Edited for clarity and to add the snippet.
