FTB Business Tax Settlement

Service Overview

California Taxes the Privilege of Doing Business

Every corporation and LLC registered or doing business in California owes at least the $800 annual minimum franchise tax — and those balances, plus penalties, pile up fast for entities that fell dormant or stopped filing. Add income-based tax and California’s penalties, and a business FTB balance can be substantial even for a company that isn’t operating.
