Have you tried turning it off and on again? 😜 jk jk... but seriously, sometimes logging out completely, waiting a few minutes, and logging back in can help reset things on their end.

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago! What finally worked for me was calling FTB's automated payment line at 1-888-792-4900. You can make payments over the phone without having to wait for a human agent. There's a small convenience fee (I think it was like $2.50), but it beats the frustration of dealing with the website when it's acting up. Just have your SSN/ITIN and bank account or card info ready. Hope this helps!

Serious question: why does FTB make everything so complicated? It's like they're stuck in the 90s with their tech. Anyone know if there are plans to upgrade their systems?

This is such a common issue unfortunately! I went through the exact same thing with my business account last month. What finally worked for me was creating a completely new account from scratch with the same info - turns out there was some glitch in their system that kept flagging my original account. It's annoying to have to start over, but it might be worth a shot if nothing else works. Also, when you do get through to someone, ask them to check if your LLC entity number matches what's in their system - sometimes there's a mismatch there too.

Heads up: if you're moving for a job, get a letter from your new employer stating your start date and that it's a permanent position. That helped me a ton!

Just went through this nightmare myself! In addition to what others mentioned, I'd recommend getting a declaration of domicile if your new state offers it - it's basically an official statement that you intend to make that state your permanent home. Also, if you have kids, school enrollment records are gold. The FTB loves seeing evidence that you've moved your whole life, not just your mailing address. Save yourself the headache and gather MORE documents than you think you need - better to overwhelm them with proof than have them come back asking for more stuff later!

Form 565 is typically used for partnerships and LLCs taxed as partnerships. If your LLC is a single-member LLC, you might not need to file a separate form at all. It depends on how you elected to be taxed. Did you make any specific tax elections when you formed your LLC?

I've been through a similar situation with my LLC! The good news is that this is usually fixable without major penalties if you catch it early. Here are a few things that helped me when I had to sort out a filing mix-up: 1. Call early in the morning (around 8 AM) - you'll have better luck getting through 2. Have your EIN, filing confirmation, and LLC formation documents ready 3. Ask specifically about filing an amended return vs. just correcting the form type Also, don't stress too much - the FTB staff are generally pretty helpful once you get someone on the line. They deal with these kinds of mix-ups all the time. Keep us posted on how it goes!

Thanks everyone for the advice! I'm gonna try calling the IRS tomorrow and see what they say. Wish me luck! 🤞

Been there! I made a similar mistake a few years back and it felt overwhelming at first, but it's definitely fixable. The key is acting quickly and being completely transparent with the IRS about what happened. I'd recommend calling them first thing in the morning - the wait times are usually shorter earlier in the day. When you speak to them, have all your payment confirmation numbers ready and be clear about the mix-up. They'll likely guide you through filing amended returns for both personal and business. It's a hassle, but the IRS deals with these kinds of honest mistakes regularly. You're not the first person to do this and you won't be the last! Keep your chin up - this will get resolved.
