Why does my California Form 3588 show I owe $800 when I already paid the FTB fee last year?

[zzzz8]

I am using TurboTax Home & Business Desktop edition. I moved to California in August 2025 and moved my LLC to California in the previous month. I paid the 2025 California Franchise Tax Board fee of $800 in September 2025. However, my California 3588 form shows I owe $800 for the 2025 Franchise Tax Board fee! Yes, I need to pay for the 2026 Franchise Tax Board fee, but that's form 3522. Where in the Desktop edition can I indicate I already paid the 2025 FTB fee so that Form 3588 indicates $0 payment? Or is this something I can ignore? That is, the state of California already knows I've paid the $800 fee and will ignore my Form 3588?

Ahh, I think I may have found it.  I believe it's on page 2 of California Form 568 in the Tax Payments Smart Worksheet section, line B: Amount paid with Form FTB 3522 for this year.  Is that correct?

Yes, page 2 of Form 568 is where you report payments you have already made.
