I am a sole proprietor. Somehow Turbotax premier asks me to fill out California F568 which appears to be LLC. Why does this happen to me and how do I fix this?

Why did Turbotax Premier treat me LLC in California Tax Return? Where did I check to fix this?

TurboTax will prompt you to fill out Form 568 if you have an Employer Identification Number for your California business.

If your LLC meets one or more of the following conditions:

• Doing business in California
• Registered with the Secretary of State

Then your LLC must:

• Pay the $800 annual tax
• By the 15th day of the 4th month after the beginning of the current tax year.
• Use Limited Liability Company Tax Voucher (FTB 3522)
• Estimate and pay the LLC fee
• By the 15th day of the 6th month after the beginning of the current tax year.
• Use Estimated Fee for LLCs (FTB 3536)
• File Limited Liability Company Return of Income (Form 568) by the original return due date.
• If your LLC files on an extension, refer to Payment for Automatic Extension for LLCs (FTB 3537)
• Visit Limited Liability Company Tax Booklet (568 Booklet) for more information
• If you have income or loss inside and outside California, use Apportionment and Allocation of Income (Schedule R) to determine California source income.
• Visit Instructions for Schedule R for more information.

I do not have the Employer Identification Number and have not had the Employer Identification Number for the entire of my life.  My income tax situation is exactly as the same as over the last 10 years, and I have never experienced this situation until this year. I can not explain this situation at all unless Turbotax has a system error this year. I believe that somebody should check the Turbotax system error.

Please review your initial questions on your business to be sure you did not answer a question incorrectly stating that your business was a single member LLC.

On the CA Business Summary, it asks you to select edit beside any business that was a single member LLC.  Check to see if you did that.  That would generate the LLC for your CA return.
