11773: CA - E-Filing a Single Member LLC (CA 568)


California

How do I e-file a Single Member LLC (CA 568) in California?

 

You can generate and e-file a Single Member LLC in either the 1065 or the 1040 package.

In the 1065 package, you do not have to clear federal EF Message 0220 in order to e-file the CA 568. All other federal EF Messages must be cleared. Note that you cannot e-file the federal 1065 return with this EF Message; only the CA 568 can be transmitted. 

Federal 1065 EF Message 0220 states:

INVALID NUMBER OF PARTNERS: Form 1065, page 1, item I, "Number of Schedules K-1," must be a minimum of two.

Review the number of partner K1 screens entered, or the number entered.

In the 1040 package, a CA SMLLC is generated by:

  • First entering an identifying number (1-999) for the LLC in the LLC# box on the CE, or screen as applicable.
    • The LLC# box on screens C and F is on the Carryovers/State Info tab. 
  • For example, on the first LLC for a return, enter a 1 in the LLC# box.
  • Then go to the CA > Single Member LLC tab > DEMO screen and enter the same identifying number in the SMLLC Number box. Complete any other needed fields. 
    • Press Page Down to create additional screens as needed to tie to multiple federal C, E, or F screens that are SMLLCs. 
  • After all EF Messages are cleared, a CA SMLLC can be e-filed. Review the Calculation Results window to ensure that each SMLLC on the return is eligible for e-filing (they will be listed as CALLC01, CALLC02, etc.).
  • To e-file only the CALLC returns, select CA LLC in the State E-file Override drop list on the EF screen.  

Note that Form 3885L (depreciation and amortization) is not supported for e-file in the individual return; see EF Message 2847. ​
