I wanted to verify that the above Turbo Tax Home and Business will not efile Form 568 for a single member LLC.  Is this true?

No, that is not true.  TurboTax DOES support the e-filing of CA form 568 for your SMLLC.

If the SMLLC has Depreciation on 3885L (which in my case it does), Turbo Tax has indicated in my error check that it will not efile the 568.  Is this true or is this a glitch in Turbo Tax? TT gives 9 reasons on my error check of why it will not efile the return and depreciation is one of them.   It is fairly typical for a company to have depreciation expense so I do not understand why TT would not be able to efile.   This is my first year doing the 568, previously it was filed by a tax firm who was able to file it electronically.  I have a screenshot of the prompt in TT but I don't see a way to upload it here to show.

Thank you for your response.

I have not heard of this particular error before. TurboTax Home & Business is designed to create only one Form 568 for a single member LLC.

 

Are you able to print the Form 568? 

 

Form 568 must be filed by every LLC that is not taxable as a corporation if any of the following apply:

  • 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.

 

Form 568 can either be e-filed or mailed to:

 

Franchise Tax Board

PO Box 942857

Sacramento, CA 94257-0501

 

In order for us to troubleshoot this issue, you can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Desktop users:

 

  1. From the black bar at the top of your screen, select Online
  2. Click Send Tax File to Agent
  3. Click Send on the message that pops up
  4. TurboTax will create a "sanitized" copy of your return information with no personal info
  5. Post the 7-digit token number here in this thread

We will then be able to review your file to see what you are seeing, and we can determine what is going on in your return and provide you with a suggested resolution.

I don't have any of the situations described in the list and yet TT still refuses to efile my 568. This has been going on for years. Will it ever be fixed?
