What does a California LLC owe every year?

California LLCs and corporations pay an annual minimum franchise tax to the Franchise Tax Board, even in a slow year, and LLCs may owe an extra fee once gross receipts pass certain levels. Accurate books tell you what you actually owe and when, so there are no surprise bills or penalties.

• We track gross receipts so you know where you stand against the LLC fee thresholds
• We put franchise tax due dates on your compliance calendar
• We hand your tax preparer clean, year-end-ready books

What is the California Statement of Information?

It's a short filing with the California Secretary of State that keeps your company's officers, managers, and addresses up to date. LLCs file every two years and corporations every year. Missing it brings a penalty and can affect good standing. We track it and file it for you.

Do I need a City of Los Angeles business tax registration?

Most businesses operating inside the City of Los Angeles need a Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC) and an annual city business tax renewal, even home-based ones. Neighboring cities like Santa Monica, Glendale, and Burbank have their own licenses. We help you check what applies and keep renewals on time.

When should I elect S-corp status in California?

An S-corp election can lower self-employment tax once your profit is steady, but California still charges its own S-corp tax, and it adds extra filings and paperwork. We give you clean numbers and plain-language guidance so you and your tax professional can decide if the timing is right.
