Q: My LLC has not been operating or earning any money for years yet I keep receiving these notices for unpaid fees.
The notices are from the State of CA franchise tax board and the amount keeps increasing. I was advised to ignore but the amount keeps increasing and it is scary. We never earned any money!
A: My guess is that you have to file some kind of form with the California Dept. of Corporations similar that will act as a "Dissolution of the LLC." Otherwise the State of California will keep sending you the tax bill. Even if you made no money, I believe you could still owe the Dept. of Corporations some kind of annual fee. I suggest you go on the California Dept of Corporations website and you will find the answer.
