With California as the largest state economy in the U.S., it is very common for companies to end up doing business there. When those companies are passthrough entities, matters can get tricky for the company and its owners. They need to be sure tax is paid in – at the right time and in the right way, and the rules to do so can vary based on what type of passthrough entity is involved, what types of owners (e.g. corporate vs. individual, foreign vs. domestic) are involved, and what elections have been made by the passthrough. This course will walk you through the many things to navigate to ensure your compliance with California franchise tax for passthrough entities.
