- The LLC is doing business in California.
- The LLC is organized in California.
- The LLC is organized in another state or foreign country, but registered with the California SOS.
- The LLC has income from California sources
An LLC is not required to file a tax return and is not subject to the annual tax and LLC fee if both the following are true:
- The LLC’s taxable year is 15 days or less.
- The LLC did not conduct business in the state during the 15 day period.
Creating the return in TaxSlayer Pro

- Personal Information
- Other Categories
- CA 568 - LLC Return - Answer Yes to confirm completing the form.
Caveats
TaxSlayer Pro does not prefill Form 568 with information from federal Schedules C, E, or F, since it cannot know what business activity relates to California.
Form 568 is not supported for electronic filing alongside the California individual tax return. You must print and mail Form 568 with the required documentation.
