The 15-day rule. California has a 15-day rule. Meaning, if your LLC goes into existence in the last 15 days of December, its considered to not exist for that taxable year and therefore you dont owe an $800 for that short year. In order for this to apply, your LLC needs to be approved on (or after) December 17th.
Starting an LLC in California costs $70 for the Articles of Organization filing fee and $20 for the Statement of Information. Dont forget the $800 annual franchise tax, which youll need to pay yearly.
