Hi, I copied FTB pass-through PTE tax, and I can not understand some parts could you please clarify them.

I really appreciated it!

Do you qualify?

A qualifying PTE is an entity taxed as a partnership or S corporation.

It means  only Partnerships and S Corp can elect this PTE tax, right?

Who does not qualify?

A qualified PTE does not include:

  • Publicly traded partnerships
  • An entity permitted or required to be in a combined reporting group

Who is a qualified taxpayer?

A qualified taxpayer is a partner, member, or shareholder of an electing qualified entity that is:

  • An individual, fiduciary, estate, or trust subject to California personal income tax
  • A disregarded single member LLC that is owned by an individual, fiduciary, estate, or trust subject to California personal income tax   >>>> here but it syas a SMLLC can elect this one? I am confused!!

To be qualified, a taxpayer must consent to have their pro rata or distributive share and guaranteed payments included in the qualified net income of the electing qualified PTE.

A qualified taxpayer is not a:

  • Disregarded business entity and its partners and members
    • Except for a disregarded single member LLC that is owned by an individual, fiduciary, estate, or trust subject to California personal income tax
  • Corporation
  • Partnership                        ..... And here it says Partnership can elect this PTE tax?  Could you please explain me finally can SMLLC and partnerships elect PTE tax?
