How to resolve the ProConnect Tax diagnostic Ref 16190 - There are multiple LLC entities present on this return

This article will help you resolve the following critical diagnostic:

• There are multiple LLC entities present on this return, but only the first LLC is included in the e-file transmission. Separate client files will need to be established in order to e-file each of the other LLCs separately. California's business entity e-file mandate requires all returns to be filed electronically if possible. If the return cannot be filed electronically a waiver is required. Waivers can be completed online through your internet browser at https://www.ftb.ca.gov/professionals/busefile/Business_eFile_Waiver_Request.asp. Ref #16190

ProConnect Tax can only e-file one Form 568, California Single Member LLC, per individual return. If your client is required to file multiple Form 568 returns, you'll need to create them in the partnership (1065) module of ProConnect Tax to e-file. Alternatively, you can complete a waiver at the FTB site to paper-file the needed returns.
