Hi Kathi,

This appears to be a Lacerte software workflow issue, since CCH handles California single-member LLCs owned by C corporations more smoothly. Because the LLC is a disregarded entity, we should be able to report the CA Form 568 within the C-corp tax return interface.

However, unlike the Individual SMLLC workflow in Lacerte, the C-corp SMLLC workflow seems to require switching to a partnership module in order to create another LLC under the partnership return—which doesn’t make sense for a disregarded entity. I wanted to check whether Lacerte has an alternative workflow that I may not be aware of.

Please let me know if there is a recommended approach within Lacerte for this situation. Thank you!
