Question

Form 568 (California) no longer inputs EIN number

I am on TurboTax software.

I am comparing it to my tax return that I did on TurboTax last year.

California form 568 (LLC) should include both SOS and FEIN number.

my last year’s 568 included EIN (FEIN) number properly.

this year when TurboTax generates form 568, it leaves the FEIN field blank (it inserts SOS correctly). I’m not able to insert the value for FEIN when I go to form view.

 

for reference - it is in the very first line of form 568. The format is: 

SOS company name FEIN.

(example:

[phone number removed] COMPANYNAME [removed])

 

however, this year the last value is blank, and it is an important one.

I see that I added it when prompted in Easy Steps.

 

please advise how to insert it into the form

 

 

please advise how to add it on the form.

    Any update on this?

     

    I hope my question makes sense.

    When I generate PDF tax return package, form 568 doesn’t show FEIN on it.

    but the form requires it per image:


    I see that it is filled out on my worksheet for 568, but on the form generated in the final PDF package,  FEIN is blank

    Which version of TurboTax are you using? It sounds like you are using a Desktop version.

     

    I just tested this with both TurboTax Premium Online and Home & Business Desktop, and the EIN entered in Schedule C did populate on Form 568 in the California return when the California interview questions were answered. I tried printing it to PDF both in step-by-step and Forms mode. 

     

    However, there were some instances where I tried to print and the top portion was blank  as in your screenshot. 

     

    I suggest giving it another try.

    I am on desktop version, Deluxe edition.

    I see FEIN on the LCC payment voucher (form 3522), but not at the top of the next page - which is form 568.

    the very first line of that form should have:

    SOS number - first four letters of the company name - FEIN number (no “-“ in between).

    and that’s how it shows on my TurboTax return from last year.

     

     

    foe this year though my first line only prints SOS number and the first four letters of the company name.

     

    next line shows 

    TYB 01-01-2024 TYE 12-31-2024

     

    hope this makes sense.
