California ES Penalty -- De Minimis Amount Waived?

[BobKamman]

California taxpayer with zero withholding and just under $1,000 tax owed.  Program adds $21 ES penalty on Form 5805 but there is the option of allowing FTB to compute it.  Do they really want quarterly payments for such a small amount?  Do they really send out bills for less than $25?

[Just-Lisa-Now- · Accepted solution]

Over $500 and CA wants ES payments. Will they send a bill for that small of an amount? Its CA, probably.
