A: Depends. More information is required. As a very generalized response...If the manager is domiciled in CA

and is conducting the business of the LLC then the LLC would be required to register, file returns

and be subject to the fees.

It is highly recommended you contact a CA tax attorney to have your specific situation evaluated.
