Ftb Ca: Fill & Download for Free

(Only) One way is not to do ANY business in California by having all correspondance, forwarding address and answering services, Bank etc. setup in Delaware itself.California State FTB (Franchise Tax Board) badly needs reforms. FTB-CA is a bunch of blood hounds for your tax money even if your business is not making profits. They recently notices (in 2018–19) to several thousands of LLCs /Corp.s registered in California to show proof of tax returns (for even those who already paid taxes).** Edit - things have slightly improved with FTB (California). Their website has been redone with user-friendly features. Annual taxes are still very high at $800 a year. Unless you are a venture funded tech company or a purely local business (like plumbing or electrical) California State is a bad location to start your own small business with it’s anti-business attitudes and policies.

Here is how to contact an actual operator at CA Franchise Tax Board:1) If you simply need to ask someone questions about your business, dial this number: 1.800.852.5711. After the voice gets past asking you if you would like the spanish version, select option 2, then option 4. This will get you to a person.2) If you need to talk to the business entity line that handles tax payments, collections, and other business entity questions, dial this number: 1.888.635.0494. Select option 1 in the first queue, then option 4 in the second queue, then option 2 in the last queue. This will get you to a person.In all candor, these options will probably not seem intuitive in terms of getting you to speak w/ another human being, but they will work. And they will save you the hours that I spent hunting someone down over there!

Let me tell you my story. I am a resident of Wisconsin. My Father lives in California. When I retired, I agreed to come out and take care of my father.I brought two cars with me. Both are registered in Wisconsin.We drove our car in CA for about 4 months when we got a letter from the DMV in the mail. The letter said it had been noted that we had been driving in CA for more than 60 days and that we needed to register the car in CA unless we did not meet the residency requirements.Here are what CA DMV uses for residency requirements.You are registered to vote.You are gainfully employed. Military personnel are not considered gainfully employed in California, even if they also hold a civilian job.Your place of business is located.Resident tuition is paid at a public institution of higher education.Dependents attend a primary or secondary school.Homeowner's property tax exemption is declared.Property is leased for use as a residence.Residence is declared to obtain a license, privilege, or benefit not ordinarily extended to a nonresident.Your current driver license was issued.You are determined to be a resident as evidenced by acts, occurrences, or events that indicate presence in the state is more than temporary or transientSo I called the DMV and explained that I was registered to vote in Wisconsin.I had no income other than Social Security and my 401K.I did not have a businessI was not in schoolI have no dependents that are in schoolI owned a home in Wisconsin and live in my fathers home and do not pay rent.I pay taxes to WisconsinI am retiredMy driver's license is in WisconsinWhen my father passes, I will be moving back to Wisconsin.The DMV said I was not a resident and would put it in their computer so when it comes up on the police computer, they will not pull me over.We did end up buying a new car in CA and for that, we did have to register it in CA. But we did not have to get a CA drivers license.My other car is a classic sports car. It has WI classic plates on it. The DMV put this one in the computer also. So far, I have not been stopped and we have been here for 3 years.We had a similar issue with the CA franchize tax board. They also have a set of requirements. Some are a little different than the DMV. It took a lot more work, but the FTB also agreed we were not residents under California law.
