Form 568 Schedule B Line 17a has defaulted a 0 in this field. When I run error check it indicates that this field should be left blank for none, an entry of 0 is not allowed, but it will not let me remove the 0 in this field. I never entered a 0 in this field. Thanks for any help. It will not let me complete my filing until this has been corrected.

I would try to run back through the entries for this form first, before deleting CA Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income.

If you are unable to find the location of the box to blank out, you can delete the form.

Hi, I have a similar question, but I don't want to delete Form 568 - I want to file it.

I think the error the OP spotted is what's preventing me from being able to efile it - On Form 568, the description for line 17a is "Depreciation and amortization. Attach Form FTB 3885L." and the entry there is a red zero, and the box is shaded so it's not happy with that response. I can't find Form FTB 3885L in TurboTax, but my entry would be zero. Can you advise a solution that is not to delete form 568?

Form 568 is the California form for a Limited Liability Company (LLC).

In this case, California had a number of issues this year with their software that receives e-filed returns. For example, CA does not accept by e-file any return with a federal Schedule C, E, or F. This would include many returns with a form 568.

Please see this list of forms that California accepts for e-filing for 2019 for individual returns.

As a result, there is nothing that TurboTax can do to e-file such returns, if the California software on the other end won’t receive it.

Don't delete form 568, just print and mail your California return.

This is an absolutely nightmare. The program for state taxes is showing my husband has an LLC but he does not and there is no where in the program that seems to ask if he has one or not. I don't understand how when we use the same program every year that now this year it wants to say he has an LLC. There is no way to fix this and customer support doesn't know what Im talking about and can barely see his account. I think IM about through with using Turbo Tax

If you have an LLC showing on your state return, it would also show up on the Federal return. Which platform are you using? Online or Desktop. Type sch c in the search bar and use the Jump to link and see if there are any businesses listed on your return. @dannykohler1

I had to paper file my form 568 last year because of issues with the state of California not accepting it via efile (from anyone, not just me) I think I still prepared it with TurboTax though.

Filing requirements

You must file a Partnership Return of Income (Form 565) if you're:

Engaged in a trade or business in California
Have income from California sources
Use a Pass-Through Entity Ownership (Schedule EO 568) to report any ownership interest in other partnerships or limited liability companies.
If you have income or loss inside and outside California, use Apportionment and Allocation of Income (Schedule R) to determine California source income

Partners

Each partner must use a Partner's Share of Income Deductions, Credits, etc. (Schedule K-1 565) to report share of partnership’s income, deductions, credits, property, payroll, and sales.

General partnerships do not pay annual tax; however, limited partnerships are subject to the annual tax of $800.

For additional information, refer to the following link:

CA FTB info on partnership return filing

You may need to delete the Form 568 and file Form 565 instead since it does calculate the $800 annual tax along with filing the CA partnership return information
