When to Make Payment

If there is a balance due on the 2008 Form 568, send form FTB 3588 with the payment to the address listed under Specific Instructions, item 4.

The tax liability must be paid by the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the taxable year.

When the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline to file and pay without penalty is extended to the next business day.

Penalties and Interest

If the LLC fails to pay its total tax liability by the original due date, the entity will incur a late payment penalty plus interest. To avoid late payment penalties and interest, the tax liability must be paid by the 15th day of the 4th month, following the close of the taxable year. If the entity paid at least 90% of the tax shown on the return by the original due date of the return, but not less than the annual tax, the FTB will waive the penalty based on reasonable cause. However, the imposition of interest is mandatory.

Fiscal year – File and Pay by the 15TH day of 4th month following the close of the taxable year. Calendar year – File and Pay by April 15, 2009.
