General Information

Income year vs. taxable year

Effective for years beginning on or after Januar y 1, 2000, references to “ incom e year” w ere replaced w ith “ taxable year” in all provisions of the Corporation Law (CTL), the Adm inistration of the Franchise and Incom e Tax Law (AFITL), and the Personal Incom e Tax Law (PITL) . When referring to an incom e

m easurem ent period beginning before Januar y 1, 2000, the term “ taxable year” should be interpreted to m ean “ incom e year” .

Statute of limitation

California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 19306 w as am ended to provide that the statute of lim itation (SOL) for a refund w ill be four years from the later of the original due date or the date the tax return w as filed. This law change is effective for any year w ith an open SOL for issuing a refund as of Januar y 1, 2000. If the tax return is delinquent, the SOL for refund w ill revert back to four years from the original due date, not the extended due date.

Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) Beginning Januar y 1, 2000, tax professionals have the option of providing their individual Social Security Num ber (SSN) or Preparer Tax Identification Num ber (PTIN) on returns they prepare. Preparers w ho w ant a PTIN m ust com plete and subm it federal Form W- 7P, Application for Preparer Tax Identification Num ber, to the IRS.

A Purpose

Use Form 100X to am end a previously filed Form 100, California Corporation Franchise or Incom e Tax Return; Form 100W, California Corporation Franchise or Incom e Tax Return – Water’s- Edge Filers; or Form 100S, California S Corporation Franchise or Incom e Tax Return.

A claim for refund of an overpaym ent of tax should be m ade by filing a Form 100X.

If the corporation is filing an am ended tax return in response to a billing notice the corporation received, the corporation w ill continue to receive billing notices until the am ended tax return is accepted. In addition, the corporation m ust pay the assessed tax before the corporation can claim a refund for any part of the assessed tax.

Note: Do not use this form to change the corporate filing status. If changing corporate status from a C corporation to an S corpora- tion, or vice versa, file form FTB 3560,

S Corporation Election or Term ination/ Revocation.

Unless other w ise stated, the term “ corpora- tion” as used in Form 100X and in these instructions includes banks, financial corporations, S corporations, exem pt

hom eow ners’ associations, political organiza- tions, lim ited liability com panies; and lim ited liability partnerships classified as corporations.

Corporations m ust file a claim for refund w ithin four years from the original due date of the tax return, the date the tax return w as filed, or w ithin one year from the date the tax w as paid, w hichever is later. Tax returns filed before the due date are considered as filed on the original due date.
