What Does It Mean To Be “FTB Suspended?”
FTB Suspension affects a company's ability to function legally and arises from failing to comply with certain state tax obligations. Understanding the reasons behind such suspensions, their implications, and the steps necessary for reinstatement is critical for maintaining a business’s legal standing.
An FTB suspension poses serious challenges but can often be resolved by addressing the underlying financial and regulatory issues. It is crucial for businesses to understand their tax obligations and remain compliant with state laws to avoid suspension. Consulting with legal and financial experts specialized in California tax law can provide valuable guidance through the revival process and help maintain the business’s good standing.
How Did your California LLC Get Suspended?
Every California LLC must file an annual tax return, or pay a minimum of $800 to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB), whether the LLC is active or not.
Failure to file within the required timeline can lead to interest and penalties up to $700, which can ultimately result in your LLC’s suspension by either the California Secretary of State or the FTB.
The FTB also issues delinquent penalties. They can be 5% per month but cap out at 25% per month, on top of interest charges, which will be incurred from the original due date.
The Franchise Tax Board may also issue an additional penalty of up to $2,000 if your LLC fails to comply or provide requested information by a certain time.
Why A Suspension Matters to Your Business
A suspended entity can’t legally operate in any capacity. That means no bank account transactions, health insurance renewals, no new loans, transfers or sales of assets, escrow closings, etc. No business transactions of any kind.
A bigger implication is that your suspended California LLC has no legal standing – your California LLC cannot sue, defend or initiate any court action until its reinstated. So that means no lawsuit filings or even responding to litigation in process.
You also lose the right to protect or keep the name of your LLC. While it’s suspended, anyone can come along and take it.
