My CA LLC is not SMLLC but still Proseries is asking me to check SMLLC box. Any clue ?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

So its a multimember LLC?  or an S-Corp?  

[avigadre]

it is multi member LLC not S Corp

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

So where is it making you choose the SMLLC?   

[avigadre]

CA form 568

[avigadre]

I am using 1065 for Fed and 568 for CA

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

in the 1065 program you clicked the State button and choose the CA LLC?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

I just had one open on my screen, its working fine here.....sounds like youre attempting to create a 568 using the 1040 program, not the 1065.

[avigadre]

yes, I am using 1065 for IRS and 568 for CA. Doing this since 2009 but this time getting error.

[avigadre]

Selected box that partners are related to each other. Is that why it is treating SMLLC ?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

I just worked on one today at the office, but I didn't get any odd error messages like you are.

If you uncheck that they're related does the error go away?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

Which SMLLC box is it wanting you to check?  What page is it on?

[avigadre]

on 568 after Item GG - 1 and 2 there is box "Single Member Limited Liability Company (SMLLC) Smart Worksheet - A. Check the box if the SMLLC has elected to be disregarded". It is not SMLLC so it should not ask this question.  

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

I went through checking a bunch of those bazillion yes/no boxes as YES trying to get that box to give me a pink error, I'm not finding a trigger for it...
Have you done a lot of work on that 568?  Is it Pay Per Return and you've already paid for it?   If not, I'd delete it and start over from scratch.

[avigadre]

Thanks Lisa for all the responses. Really appreciate it. I will delete and recreate. Intuit is blocking me from responding to your messages saying "I am violating their policy" ...hence delay in my messages.

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

Ugh!  its an overzealous spam filter that makes that message pop up....we had an issue in here with someone spamming the board with Mumbai dancing girls once  LOL   

[sbestsantabarbar]

Avigadre, Did you ever resolve this issue?

[avigadre]

Lisa advised me to back-out all the data and re-enter. That worked. Never figured out why it error out in the first place.

[sbestsantabarbar]

Yikes!  Ok, I will try it! I've been pulling out my hair for an hour on this!  Thanks for responding at the 11th hour!!

[sbestsantabarbar]

It didn't work.  I must be answering something weird/wrong.

[Just-Lisa-Now- · Accepted solution]

You need the 1065 Partnership program to prepare a multi member LLC tax return and the CA 568...if youre in the 1040 personal program you wont be able to do it in there.

From the 1065, click the state button and you should have a choice like the picture below.
