California Form 3522 PDF Details

Form 3522 is the LLC Tax Voucher issued by the Franchise Tax Board. All LLCs registered in California must file it to pay the $800 annual tax. This applies to every tax year the LLC operates in the state.

The form covers LLCs recognized by the California Secretary of State through articles of organization or certificates of registration. It also applies to foreign LLCs conducting business in California.

Form 3522 accepts three payment methods: Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW), Web Pay for Businesses, and credit card. Choose the method that works best for your business.

Some LLCs may qualify for exemptions. Small businesses owned by deployed U.S. Armed Forces members may receive relief under specific conditions outlined by the FTB. Filing late results in penalties, late fees, and interest. Submit the voucher on time to avoid these charges.

Keep a completed copy of Form 3522 for your tax records. The $800 payment is due regardless of whether the LLC had income that year.

You can mail a check or money order payable to the Franchise Tax Board along with the completed voucher, or pay online through Web Pay for faster processing.
