Who Must Pay the Annual LLC Tax Every LLC that is doing business in California or that has articles of organization accepted or a certificate of registration issued by the SOS is subject to the $800 annual LLC tax. The tax must be paid for each taxable year until a certificate of cancellation of registration or of articles of organization is filed with the SOS. Get FTB Pub. 1038, Guide to Dissolve, Surrender, or Cancel a California Business Entity, for more information. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, an LLC as described in Internal Revenue Code Sections 501(c)(2) and 501(c)(25) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 23701h and 23701x is exempt from the annual LLC tax. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2030, an LLC that is a small business solely owned by a deployed member of the United States Armed Forces shall not be subject to the annual tax if the owner is deployed during the taxable year and the LLC operates at a loss or ceases operation. When to Pay the Annual LLC Tax The annual LLC tax is due and payable by the 15th day of the 4th month after the beginning of the LLC’s taxable year (fiscal year) or April 15, 2023 (calendar year). When the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline to file and pay without penalty is extended to the next business day. Due to the federal Emancipation Day holiday observed on April 17, 2023, tax returns filed and payments mailed or submitted on April 18, 2023, will be considered timely. The first taxable year of an LLC begins when the LLC files its articles of organization with the SOS. The first taxable year of a foreign LLC doing business in California begins when the LLC is organized in another state. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 and before January 1, 2024, an LLC that organizes, registers, or files with the Secretary of State to do business in California is exempt from the annual LLC tax in its first taxable year. If the 15th day of the 4th month of an existing foreign LLC’s taxable year has passed before the foreign LLC commences business in California or registers with the SOS, the annual LLC tax should be paid immediately after commencing business or registering with the SOS. Instructions Enter all the information requested using black or blue ink. To ensure the timely and proper application of the payment to the LLC’s account, enter the California SOS file number (assigned upon registration with the SOS), and the federal employer identification number (FEIN). Series LLC After the name for each series, write “Series LLC # ___.” In addition, write “Series LLC” in black or blue ink on the top right margin of the voucher. Only the first series to pay tax or file a return may use an SOS file number. For all other series, enter zeroes in the SOS file number field. We will notify each series of its assigned number after we receive its initial payment voucher. The series LLC should use this assigned number for subsequent years. Get FTB 3556 LLC MEO, Limited Liability Company Filing Information, for more information. Private Mail Box (PMB) Include the PMB in the address field. Write “PMB” first, then the box number. Example: 111 Main Street PMB 123.

Form 3522 is a California Corporate Income Tax form. Payment vouchers are provided to accompany checks mailed to pay off tax liabilities, and are used by the revenue department to record the purpose of the check and the SSN/EIN of the taxpayer who sent it. Many states recommend that taxpayers also write their social security number and the purpose of the payment on the check itself, in case the accompanying payment voucher is misplaced or destroyed.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
