Understanding LLC Tax Obligations and Exemptions Tax Obligations Exemptions LLCs must file an annual tax return with the California Franchise Tax Board. LLCs with total income below a certain threshold may qualify for exemption from the annual tax filing. LLCs are subject to an annual minimum franchise tax of $800, regardless of income. LLCs that are formed or registered in California during the first 15 days of the tax year are exempt from paying the minimum franchise tax for that year. LLCs with total income exceeding $250,000 must pay an additional fee based on a sliding scale. LLCs that are organized as nonprofit entities and meet certain criteria may qualify for an exemption from the additional fee. LLCs are required to report any changes in ownership or organizational structure to the California Franchise Tax Board. LLCs that have dissolved or no longer conduct business in California may be eligible for exemption from reporting requirements.
