Differences between California and Federal Law
In general, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, California law conforms to the Internal Revenue Code (
IRC) as of
January 1, 2015. However, there are continuing differences between California and federal law. When California conforms to federal tax law changes, we do not always adopt all of the changes made at the federal level. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for conformity. Additional information can be found in FTB Pub. 1001, Supplemental
Guidelines to California Adjustments, the instructions for California Schedule
CA (540), California Adjustments - Residents, or Schedule CA (540NR), California
Adjustments - Nonresidents or Part-Year
Residents, and the Business Entity tax booklets.
The instructions provided with California tax forms are a summary of California tax law and are only intended to aid taxpayers in preparing their state income tax returns. We include information that is most useful to the greatest number of taxpayers in the limited space available. It is not possible to include all requirements of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) in the instructions.
Taxpayers should not consider the instructions as authoritative law.
What's New/Tax Law Changes
Reporting Requirements - Taxpayers may need to file form FTB 4197, Information on
Tax Expenditure Items, with the tax return to report tax expenditure items as part of the
Franchise Tax Board's (FTB's) annual reporting requirements under R&TC Section 41. To determine if you have an R&TC Section 41 reporting requirement, see the R&TC
Section 41 Reporting Requirements section or get form FTB 4197.

Wildfire Relief Payment - For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019, and before
January 1, 2026, the Federal Disaster Tax
Relief Act of 2023, allows an exclusion from gross income for any amount received by an individual as a qualified wildfire relief payment.
Generally, California law does not conform.
If any qualified amount was excluded from income for federal purposes and California law provides no similar exclusion, include that amount in income for California purposes.
Wildfire Mitigation Payment - For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2029, California law allows a qualified taxpayer an exclusion from gross income for any amount received as a
California qualified wildfire loss mitigation payment through the California Wildfire
Mitigation Financial Assistance Program.
For more information, see Specific Line
Instructions and R&TC Section 24308.10.
Net Operating Loss Suspension - For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2027,
California has suspended the net operating loss (
NOL) carryover deduction. Corporations may continue to compute and carryover an
NOL during the suspension period. However, corporations with taxable income of less than
$1,000,000 or with disaster loss carryovers are not affected by the
NOL suspension rules.
The carryover period for suspended losses is extended by:

  • Three years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2024.
  • Two years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before

January 1, 2025.

  • One year for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and before

Credit Limitation - For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2027, there is a $5,000,000 limitation on the application of credits. The total of all credits including the carryover of any credit for the taxable year may not reduce the "tax", by more than $5,000,000. This limitation does not apply to the Low-Income
Housing Credit. For taxpayers included in a combined report, the limitation is applied at the group level.
The S Corporation may not elect to receive a refundable credit for credits that are disallowed due to the credit limitation. Credits disallowed due to the limitation may be carried over.
The carryover period for disallowed credit is extended by the number of taxable years the credit was not allowed. For more information, refer to R&TC Sections 23036.4 and 23036.5.
Intangible Drilling and Development
Costs - California law does not allow the deduction for intangible drilling and development costs in the case of oil and gas wells paid or incurred on or after January 1,

S corporation may be required to authorize an agent, through a Power of Attorney (
POA), to act on its behalf in response to requests for information or records pursuant to R&TC
Section 19504. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov/poa.
The penalty for not maintaining the required records is $10,000 for each taxable year for which the failure applies. In addition, if the failure continues for more than 90 days after the FTB notifies the S corporation of the failure, a penalty of $10,000 may be assessed for each additional 30 day period of continued failure.
See General Information M, Penalties, for more information.

General Information

Form 100S is used if a corporation has elected to be a small business corporation
(S corporation).
All federal S corporations subject to California laws must file Form 100S and pay the greater of the minimum franchise tax or the 1.5% income or franchise tax. The tax rate for financial S corporations is 3.5%.
The taxable income of the S corporation is calculated in two different ways for two different purposes. First, it is calculated in the same manner as for C corporations, with certain modifications, for purposes of computing the 1.5% income or franchise tax. Second, it is calculated using federal rules for the pass through of income and deductions, etc. for purposes of pass through to the shareholders.
A corporation that makes a valid election to be treated as an S corporation is not allowed to be included in a combined report of a unitary group, except as provided by R&TC
Section 23801(d)(1).
When Completing the Form 100S:

  • Use black or blue ink on the tax return sent to the FTB.
  • Print name and address (in CAPITAL

LETTERS).

  • When a domestic S corporation files the first California tax return, the fiscal year beginning date must be the date the

S corporation is incorporated.

  • Round cents to the nearest whole dollar.

For example, round $50.50 up to $51 or round $25.49 down to $25.

  • Send a clean legible copy.
  • Enter all types of payments (overpayment from prior year, estimated tax, nonresident tax, etc.) made for the 2024 taxable year on the applicable line.
  • When making a payment with a check or money order, enclose but do not staple the payment to the front of the tax return.
  • Assemble the corporation return in the following order: Form 100S, Schedule R

(if required), supporting schedules, a copy of federal return (if required), and form
FTB 5806, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Corporations, (if required). Do not use staples or other permanent bindings to assemble the tax return.
A Franchise or Income Tax
Corporation Franchise Tax
Entities subject to the corporation minimum franchise tax include all S corporations that meet any of the following:

  • Incorporated or organized in California.
  • Qualified or registered to do business in

California.

  • Doing business in California, whether or not incorporated, organized, qualified, or registered under California law.

The minimum franchise tax must be paid by corporations incorporated in California or qualified or registered under California law whether the S corporation is active, inactive, not doing business, or operates at a loss. See
General Information B, Tax Rate and Minimum
Franchise Tax, for more information.
The measured franchise tax is imposed on
S corporations doing business in California and is measured by the income of the current taxable year for the privilege of doing business in that taxable year.
A taxpayer is "doing business" if it actively engages in any transaction for the purpose of financial or pecuniary gain or profit in
California or if any of the following conditions is satisfied:

  • The taxpayer is organized or commercially domiciled in California.
  • The sales, as defined in R&TC

Section 25120(e) or (f), of the taxpayer in
California, including sales by the taxpayer's agents and independent contractors, exceed the lesser of $735,019 or 25% of the taxpayer's total sales.

  • The real property and tangible personal property of the taxpayer in California exceed the lesser of $73,502 or 25% of the taxpayer's total real property and tangible personal property.
  • The amount paid in California by the taxpayer for compensation, as defined in R&TC Section 25120(c), exceeds the lesser of $73,502 or 25% of the total compensation paid by the taxpayer.

In determining the amount of the taxpayer's sales, property, and payroll for doing business purposes, include the taxpayer's pro rata share of amounts from partnerships and
S corporations. All S corporations complete
Schedule K-1 (100S), Table 2, Item C to report the shareholder's distributive share of property, payroll and sales total within
California. For more information, see R&TC
Section 23101 or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for doing business.
An S corporation incorporated in California, but not doing business in this state, is not subject to the measured franchise tax. However, careful attention should be given to the term
"doing business." It is not necessary that the
S corporation conducts business or engages in transactions within the state on a regular basis.
Even an isolated transaction during the taxable year may be enough to cause the S corporation to be "doing business".
Also, when an S corporation is either a general partner of a partnership or a member of an
LLC that is "doing business" in California, the
S corporation is also considered to be "doing business" in California.
Corporation Income Tax
The corporation income tax is imposed on all S corporations that derive income from sources within California but are not doing business in California.
For purposes of the corporation income tax, the term "corporation" is not limited to incorporated entities, but also includes the following:

  • Associations.
  • Massachusetts or business trusts.
  • REITs.
  • Other business entities classified as associations under Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 sections 23038(b)-1 through 23038(b)-3.

B Tax Rate and Minimum
Franchise Tax
The following tax rates apply to S corporations subject to either the corporation franchise tax or the corporation income tax.

  • S corporations 1.5%
  • Financial S corporations 3.5%
  • Built-in gains and excess net passive income 8.84%

See R&TC Section 23186, General
Information J, Built-In Gains, and General
Information S, Excess Net Passive Investment
Income, for more information.
Minimum Franchise Tax
All S corporations subject to the corporation franchise tax and any S corporation doing business in California must file Form 100S and pay at least the minimum franchise tax as required by law. The minimum franchise tax is $800 and must be paid whether the
S corporation is active, inactive, operates at a loss, or files a return for a short-period of less than 12 months.
A corporation that incorporated or qualified through the California Secretary of State
(
SOS) to do business in California is not subject to the minimum franchise tax for its first taxable year and will compute its tax liability by multiplying its state net income by the appropriate tax rate. The corporation will become subject to minimum franchise tax beginning in its second taxable year.
This does not apply to qualified Subchapter
S subsidiaries or corporations that are not qualified by the California
SOS, or reorganize solely to avoid payment of the minimum franchise tax.
There is no minimum franchise tax for the following entities:

  • Corporations that are not incorporated in California, not qualified under the laws of California, and are not doing business in California even though

Page 8 Form 100S Booklet 2024 they derive income from California sources. However, if corporations meet the sale, property, or payroll threshold for "doing business" under R&TC
Section 23101(b), corporations may be subject to the minimum franchise tax.
For more information regarding "doing business," see General Information A,
Franchise or Income Tax; refer to R&TC
Section 23101(b); get FTB Pub. 1050,
Application and Interpretation of Public
Law 86-272; or FTB Pub. 1060, Guide for Corporations Starting Business in
California.

  • Corporations that are not incorporated under the laws of California; whose sole activities in California are engaging in convention and trade show activities for seven or fewer days during the taxable year; and do not derive more than

$10,000 of gross income reportable to
California during the taxable year. These
S corporations are not "doing business" in California. For more information, get
FTB Pub. 1060.

  • Newly formed or qualified corporations filing an initial return.
  • Qualified non-profit farm cooperative associations.
  • Credit unions.
  • Exempt homeowners' associations.
  • Exempt political organizations.
  • Exempt organizations.

Deployed Military Exemption
For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2030, a corporation that is a small business solely owned by a deployed member of the United
States Armed Forces shall not be subject to the minimum franchise tax if the owner is deployed during the taxable year and the corporation operates at a loss or ceases operation. Corporations exempt from the minimum franchise tax should write "Deployed
Military" in black or blue ink in the top margin of the tax return.
For the purposes of this exemption:
(A) "Deployed" means being called to active duty or active service during a period when the United States is engaged in combat or homeland defense. "Deployed" does not include either of the following:

  • Temporary duty for the sole purpose of training or processing.
  • A permanent change of station.

(B) "Operates at a loss" means negative net income as defined in R&TC Section 24341.
(C) "Small business" means a corporation with two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) or less of total income from all sources derived from or attributable to California.
Alternative Minimum Tax
S corporations are not subject to the alternative minimum tax.
C Elections and Terminations
Elections
Corporations that elect federal S corporation status and have a California filing requirement are deemed to have made a California
S election effective on the same date as the federal S election.
Terminations
Terminating the taxpayer's federal S election simultaneously terminates its California
S election.
If the taxpayer terminates its S corporation status, short-period returns are required for the
S corporation short year and the C corporation short year, if applicable.
D Accounting Period and
Method
The taxable year of the S corporation must not be different from the taxable year used for federal purposes, unless initiated or approved by the FTB (R&TC Section 24632).
A change in accounting method requires consent from the FTB. However, an
S corporation that obtains federal approval to change its accounting method, or that is permitted or required by federal law to make a change in its accounting method without prior approval, and does so, is deemed to have the
FTB's approval if: (1) the S corporation files a timely Form 100S consistent with the change for the first taxable year the change is effective for federal purposes; and (2) the change is consistent with California law. A copy of federal Form 3115, Application for Change in
Accounting Method, and a copy of the federal consent to the change must be attached to
Form 100S for the first taxable year the change becomes effective. Get FTB Notice 2024-01 for more information. The FTB may modify requested changes if the adjustments would distort income for California purposes.
California follows the provisions of Revenue
Procedure 2016-29, which updates the procedures for a change of accounting method involving previously unclaimed, but allowable depreciation or amortization deductions.
E When to File
File Form 100S by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the close of the taxable year unless the return is for a short-period as required under R&TC Section 24634. Generally, the due date of a short-period return is the same as the due date of the federal short-period return. See
R&TC Section 18601(c) for the due date of the short-period return.
When the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline to file and pay without penalty is extended to the next business day.
For information on final returns, see General
Information O, Dissolution/Withdrawal, and
General Information P , Ceasing Business.
If an S corporation converts during its taxable year to an LLC or limited partnership
(LP) under state law, then generally two short-period California returns must be filed
(one short-period return for the S corporation and another short-period return for the LLC or
LP).
The corporate status and taxable year of the
LLC or LP will not terminate and only a single return Form 100S is required if:

  • the LLC or LP files a federal election to be classified as an association taxable as an

S corporation effective as of the conversion date,

  • the conversion otherwise qualifies as a reorganization under

IRC
Section 368(a)(1)(F), and

  • the LLC or LP satisfies the statutory requirements to be an S corporation.

F Extension of Time to File
If an S corporation cannot file its California tax return by the 15th day of the 3rd month after the close of the taxable year, it may file on or before the 15th day of the 9th month without filing a written request for an extension. Get
FTB Notice 2019-07 for more information.
There is no automatic extension period for business entities suspended on or after the original due date.
An automatic extension does not extend the time for payment. The full amount of tax must be paid by the original due date of Form 100S.
If there is an unpaid tax liability on the original due date, complete form FTB 3539, Payment for Automatic Extension for Corporations and Exempt Organizations, and send it with the payment by the original due date of the
Form 100S.
When the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline to file and pay without penalty is extended to the next business day.
If the S corporation must pay its tax liability electronically, all payments must be remitted by Electronic Fund Transfer (
EFT), EFW, Web
Pay, or credit card to avoid penalties. Do not send form FTB 3539.
G Electronic Payments
Electronic Funds Transfer
Corporations or exempt organizations remitting an estimated tax payment or extension payment in excess of $20,000 or having a total tax liability in excess of $80,000 must remit all payments through
EFT. Once a corporation meets the threshold, all subsequent payments regardless of amount, tax type, or taxable year must be remitted electronically to avoid the 10% non-compliance penalty. The first payment that would trigger the mandatory
EFT requirement does not have to be made electronically. Corporations or exempt organizations required to remit payments electronically may use
EFW, Web Pay, or credit card and be considered in compliance with that requirement. The FTB notifies corporations or exempt organizations that are subject to this requirement. Those that do not meet these requirements may participate on a voluntary basis. If the corporation pays electronically, complete the form FTB 3539 worksheet for its

Form 100S Booklet 2024 Page 9 records. Do not mail the payment voucher.
For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for eft or call 916.845.4025.
Electronic Funds Withdrawal
S corporations can make an estimated tax or extension payment using tax preparation software. Check with the software provider to determine if they support
EFW for estimated tax or extension payments.
Web Pay
Corporations can make payments online using
Web Pay for Businesses. Corporations can make an immediate payment or schedule payments up to a year in advance. Go to ftb.ca.gov/pay.
Credit Card
Corporations can use Discover, MasterCard,
Visa or American Express Card to pay business taxes. Go to officialpayments.com.
ACI
Payments, Inc. (formerly Official Payments) charges a convenience fee for using this service. Do not file form FTB 3539.
H Where to File

Private Delivery Services
California law conforms to federal law regarding the use of certain designated private delivery services to meet the "timely mailing as timely filing/paying" rule for tax returns and payments. See the instructions for federal
Form 1120-S for a list of designated delivery services. If a private delivery service is used, address the return to:

FRANCHISE TAX BOARD

SACRAMENTO CA 95827
Private delivery services cannot deliver items to PO boxes. If using one of these services to mail any item to the FTB, do not use an FTB
PO box.
I Net Income Computation
The computation of net income from trade or business activities generally follows the determination of taxable income as provided in the
IRC. However, there are differences that must be taken into account when completing
Form 100S. There are two ways to complete
Form 100S, the federal reconciliation method or the California computation method.

  1. Federal Reconciliation Method a. Transfer the information from the federal

Form 1120-S, Page 1, to Form 100S,
Side 4, Schedule F, Computation of
Trade or Business Income, and attach a copy of the federal return with all supporting schedules. b. Enter the amount of federal ordinary income (loss) from trade or business activities before any
NOL and special deductions on Form 100S, Side 1, line 1. c. Enter the state adjustments (including any adjustments necessary to report items not included in ordinary trade or business income or loss) on Form 100S,
Side 1 and Side 2, line 2 through line 13, to arrive at net income (loss) after state adjustments, Form 100S,
Side 2, line 14.

  1. Schedule F - California Computation

Method
If the S corporation has no federal filing requirement, or if the S corporation maintains separate records for state purposes, complete Form 100S, Side 4,
Schedule F, to determine state ordinary income. If ordinary income is computed under California laws, generally no state adjustments are necessary. Transfer the amount from Schedule F, line 22, to Form 100S, Side 1, line 1. Complete
Form 100S, Side 1 and Side 2, line 2 through line 13, only if applicable.
See Specific Line Instructions for more information.
Regardless of the net income computation method used, the S corporation must attach any form, schedule, or supporting document referred to on the return, schedules, or forms filed with the FTB.
Substitution of Federal Schedules
S corporations may not substitute federal schedules for California schedules.
J Built-In Gains
When a C corporation elects to be an
S corporation, certain items of gain or loss recognized in S corporation years are subject to the C corporation 8.84% tax rate instead of the S corporation 1.5% tax rate (financial
S corporations add 2%).
Built-In Gains Under Current IRC
Section 1374
For those S corporations that made the initial federal S election after December 31, 1986, certain income items reported by the
S corporation are taxed at 8.84% (or the financial C corporation tax rate). This provision applies for a period of ten years following the C corporation's election to become an S corporation. The amount of built-in gain that is taxed at 8.84% (or the financial C corporation tax rate) is the excess of recognized built-in gains over recognized built-in losses, limited by taxable income as determined under
IRC Section 1374(d)(2)(A).
The following items are treated as built-in gains subject to this tax:

  • Accounts receivable of cash basis taxpayers from C corporation years.
  • Long-term contract deferred income from

C corporation years.

  • Deferred income from installment sales made in C corporation years.
  • Recapture of depreciation from

C corporation years.

  • Income from unreplaced last-in, first-out

(
LIFO) inventory from C corporation years.

  • Any other income item that is attributable to

C corporation years.
These are just a few of the examples. This list is not intended to be all inclusive.
For Apportioning Corporations Only:
All recognized built-in gains and all recognized built-in losses are apportioned and allocated to California according to the current year
Schedule R.
K Estimated Tax
Use Form 100-ES, Corporation Estimated
Tax, to figure and pay estimated tax for an
S corporation.
Corporations are required to pay the following percentages of the estimated tax liability during the taxable year:

  • 30% for the first required installment
  • 40% for the second required installment
  • No estimated tax payment is required for the third installment
  • 30% for the fourth required installment

For exceptions and prior year's information, get the instructions for Form 100-ES.
Estimated tax is generally due and payable in four installments as follows:

Page 10 Form 100S Booklet 2024

  • The 1st payment is due on the 15th day of the 4th month of the taxable year. This payment may not be less than the minimum franchise tax plus QSub annual tax, if applicable.
  • The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th installments are due and payable on the 15th day of the 6th,

9th, and 12th months, respectively, of the taxable year.
If the corporation must pay its tax liability electronically, all estimate payments due must be remitted by
EFT, EFW, Web Pay, or credit card to avoid the EFT penalty. See General
Information G, Electronic Payments, for more information.
If no amount is due, or if the corporation pays electronically, do not mail Form 100-ES.
L New/Commencing
S Corporations
An S corporation is required to pay measured tax instead of minimum tax for the first taxable year if the corporation incorporated or registered through the California
SOS. For more information, see General Information B,
Tax Rate and Minimum Franchise Tax, or get
FTB Pub. 1060.
M Penalties
Failure to File a Timely Return
Any corporation that fails to file Form 100S on or before the extended due date is assessed a delinquent filing penalty. The delinquent filing penalty is computed at 5% of the tax due, after allowing for timely payments, for every month that the return is late, up to a maximum of 25%. If the S corporation does not file its return by the extended due date, the automatic extension will not apply and the late filing penalty will be assessed from the original due date of the return. See R&TC Sections 19131 and 23772 for more information.
Unless failure is due to reasonable cause, a penalty will be assessed against the
S corporation if it is required to file an
S corporation return and one of the following occurs:

  • The S corporation fails to file the tax return by the due date, including extensions.
  • The S corporation files a return that fails to show all of the information required pursuant to R&TC Section 18601.

The amount of the penalty for each month, or part of a month (for a maximum of 12 months) that the failure continues, is $18 multiplied by the total number of shareholders in the
S corporation during any part of the taxable year for which the return is due. See R&TC
Section 19172.5 for more information.
Failure to Pay Total Tax by the Due Date
Any S corporation that fails to pay the total tax shown on Form 100S by the original due date is assessed a penalty. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid tax, plus 0.5% for each month, or part of the month (not to exceed 40 months) the tax remains unpaid. This penalty may not exceed 25% of the unpaid tax. See R&TC
Section 19132 for more information.
The FTB may waive the late payment penalty based on reasonable cause. Reasonable cause is presumed when 90% of the tax shown on the return, but not less than minimum franchise tax if applicable, is paid by the original due date of the return. However, the imposition of interest is mandatory.
If an S corporation is subject to both the penalty for failure to file a timely return and the penalty for failure to pay the total tax by the due date, a combination of the two penalties may be assessed, but the total will not exceed 25% of the unpaid tax.
Underpayment of Estimated Tax
Any S corporation that fails to pay, pays late, or underpays an installment of estimated tax is assessed a penalty. The penalty is a percentage of the underpayment of estimated tax for the period from the date the installment was due until the date it is paid, or until the original due date of the tax return, whichever is earlier. Get form FTB 5806 to determine both the amount of underpayment and the amount of penalty.
The underpayment of estimated tax penalty shall not apply to the extent the underpayment of an installment was created or increased by any provision of law that is chaptered during and operative for the taxable year of the underpayment.
See R&TC Sections 19142, 19144, 19145,
19147 through 19151, and 19161 for more information.
If the S corporation uses Exception B or
Exception C on form FTB 5806 to compute or eliminate any of the required installments, form FTB 5806 must be attached to the back of Form 100S (after all schedules and federal return) and the box on Form 100S, Side 2, line 44b should be checked.
Large Corporate Understatement Penalty
(LCUP)
Corporations are subject to the LCUP for the understatement of tax if that understatement exceeds the greater of:

  • $1 million, or
  • 20% of the tax shown on an original or amended return filed on or before the original or extended due date of the return for the taxable year.

The amount of the penalty is equal to 20% of the understatement of tax. See R&TC
Section 19138 for exceptions to the
LCUP. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for lcup.
EFT Penalty
If the S corporation must pay its tax liability electronically, all payments must be remitted by
EFT, EFW, Web Pay or credit card to avoid the penalty. The penalty is 10% of the amount not paid electronically. See R&TC
Section 19011 and General Information G,
Electronic Payments, for more information.
Information Reporting Penalties
Federal Forms 5471 and 8975 - U.S. corporations that have an ownership interest
(directly or indirectly) in a foreign corporation and were required to file federal Form 5471,
Information Return of U.S. Persons With
Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations; or federal Form 8975, Country-by-Country
Report, and accompanying Schedule A
(8975), Tax Jurisdiction and Constituent Entity
Information with the federal return, must attach a copy(ies) to the California return.
The penalty for failure to include a copy of federal Form(s) 5471, or federal Form 8975 and accompanying Schedule A (8975), as required, is $1,000 per required form for each year the failure occurs. The penalty will not be assessed if the copy of the information required to be filed with the IRS was not attached to the taxpayer's original return and the taxpayer provides a copy of the form(s) within 90 days of request from the FTB and the taxpayer agrees to attach a copy(ies) of federal Form 5471 or federal Form 8975 and accompanying Schedule A (8975) to all original returns filed for subsequent years. See R&TC
Section 19141.2 for more information.
Note: Foreign insurance companies that file as domestic companies are exempt from the requirement of filing federal Form 8975 and accompanying Schedule A (8975).
For additional information, refer to the federal
Form 8975 instructions.
Federal Form 5472 - Certain domestic corporations that are 25% or more foreignowned and foreign corporations engaged in a
U.S. trade or business must attach a copy(ies) of the federal Form(s) 5472, Information
Return of a 25% Foreign-Owned U.S.
Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a U.S. Trade or Business, to Form 100S.
The penalty for failing to include a copy of federal Form(s) 5472, as required, is $10,000 per required form for each year the failure occurs. See R&TC Section 19141.5 for more information.
If the S corporation does not file its
Form 100S by the due date or extended due date, whichever is later, copy(ies) of federal
Form(s) 5472 must still be filed on time or the penalty will be imposed. Attach a cover letter to the copy(ies) indicating the taxpayer's name,
California corporation number, and taxable year. Mail to the same address used for returns without payments. See General Information H,
Where to File, for more information. When the S corporation files Form 100S, also attach copy(ies) of the federal Form(s) 5472.
Record Maintenance Penalty
The penalty for failure to maintain certain records is $10,000 for each taxable year for which the failure applies. In addition, if the failure continues for more than 90 days after the FTB notifies the S corporation of the failure, in general, a penalty of $10,000 may be assessed for each additional 30-day period

Form 100S Booklet 2024 Page 11 of continued failure. There is no maximum amount of penalty that may be assessed.
See Records Maintenance Requirements on page 6 for a discussion of the records required to be maintained. See R&TC Section 19141.6 and the related regulations for more information.
Accuracy and Fraud Related Penalties
California conforms to IRC Sections 6662 through 6665 that authorize the imposition of an accuracy-related penalty equal to 20% of the related underpayment and the imposition of a fraud penalty equal to 75% of the related underpayment. See R&TC Section 19164 for more information.
California Secretary of State (SOS) Penalty
The California Corporations Code requires the FTB to assess a penalty for failure to file an annual Statement of Information with the
California
SOS. For more information, see
R&TC Section 19141, or contact:

SECRETARY OF STATE STATEMENT OF INFORMATION UNIT

ATTENTION: PENALTIES
PO BOX 944230

SACRAMENTO

CA 94244-2300
Telephone: 916.657.5448
Other Penalties
Other penalties may be imposed for a payment returned for insufficient funds, foreign corporations operating while forfeited or without qualifying to do business in
California, and domestic corporations operating while suspended in California. See
R&TC Sections 19134 and 19135 for more information.
N Interest
Interest is due and payable on any tax due if not paid by the original due date of Form 100S.
Interest is also due on some penalties. The automatic extension of time to file Form 100S does not stop interest from accruing. California follows federal rules for the calculation of interest. Get FTB Pub. 1138, Business
Entity Refund/Billing Information, for more information.
O Dissolution/Withdrawal
The S corporation must check the applicable box on Form 100S, Side 1, Question A1, if dissolving, merging, or withdrawing. Enter the date the S corporation filed or will file the documents for dissolution with the
California
SOS.
The franchise tax for the period in which the
S corporation formally dissolves or withdraws is measured by the income of the taxable year in which it ceased doing business in California, unless such income has already been taxed at the rate prescribed for the taxable year of dissolution or withdrawal.
An S corporation that is a successor to a corporation that commenced doing business in California before January 1, 1972, is allowed a credit that may be refunded in the year of dissolution or withdrawal. The amount of the refundable credit is the difference between the minimum franchise tax for the corporation's first full 12 months of doing business and the total tax paid for the same period.
To claim this credit, enter the amount on
Form 100S, Side 2, line 34. To the left of line 34, write "Dissolving/ Withdrawing" or include it according to your software's instructions.
The tax return for the final taxable period is due on or before the 15th day of the 3rd full month after the month during which the S corporation withdrew or stops doing business in California.
Corporations are subject to income tax or franchise tax for the final taxable period.
Corporations that file a final franchise tax return must pay at least the minimum franchise tax as specified in R&TC Section 23153.
The minimum franchise tax will not be assessed after the taxable year for which the final tax return is filed, if a corporation meets all of the following requirements:

  • The corporation files a timely final franchise tax return for the preceding taxable year, including extension. The corporation must be in good standing to have an extension to file.
  • The corporation did not do business in

California after the final taxable year.

  • The corporation files the appropriate documents for dissolution or surrender with the California

SOS within 12 months of the timely filed final franchise tax return.

P Ceasing Business
The tax for the final year in which the
S corporation does business in California is determined according to or measured by its net income for the taxable year during which the S corporation ceased doing business. In any event, the tax for any taxable year shall not be less than the minimum franchise tax, if applicable. For more information, see R&TC
Section 23151.1.
Unreported income on installment obligations, distribution of notes, and distribution of corporate assets (i.e. land, buildings) at a gain must be included in income in the year of cessation. There is no federal law counterpart regarding this issue. For more information, see
R&TC Section 24672 and Section 24451.
A domestic or qualified S corporation will remain subject to the minimum franchise tax for each taxable year it is in existence until a certificate of dissolution (and certificate of winding up, if necessary), certificate of withdrawal, or certificate of surrender is filed with the California
SOS. See General
Information O, Dissolution/Withdrawal, R&TC
Sections 23331 through 23333, and R&TC
Section 23335 for more information.
Q Suspension/Forfeiture
If an S corporation does not file Form 100S and/or does not pay any tax, penalty, or interest due, its powers, rights, and privileges may be suspended (in the case of a domestic
S corporation) or forfeited (in the case of a foreign S corporation).
S corporations that operate while suspended or forfeited may be subject to a $2,000 penalty per taxable year, which is in addition to any tax, penalties, and interest already accrued. Also, any contracts entered into during suspension or forfeiture are voidable at the request of any party to the contract other than the suspended or forfeited corporation.
Such contracts will remain voidable and unenforceable unless the S corporation applies for relief from contract voidability and the FTB grants relief.
See R&TC Sections 19135, 19719, 23301,
23305.1, and 23305.2 for more information, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for revivor.
R Apportionment of Income
S corporations with business income attributable to sources both within and outside of California are required to apportion such income. Use Schedule R to calculate the apportionment percentage. Be sure to answer
Question P on Form 100S, Side 3. Attach the
Schedule R behind Form 100S and prior to the supporting schedules.
R&TC Section 25128.7 requires all business income of an apportioning trade or business, other than an apportioning business under
R&TC Section 25128(b), to apportion its business income using the single-sales factor formula.
R&TC Section 25136 requires all taxpayers to assign sales, other than sales of tangible personal property, using market assignment. For more information, see R&TC
Section 25136 and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25136-2; Legal Ruling 2022-01, get
Schedule R, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for market assignment.
For more information, see R&TC
Sections 25120 through 25136.1.
Combined Reports - A corporation that has made a valid election to be treated as an
S corporation is generally not included in a combined report. However, in some cases, the
FTB may use combined reporting methods to clearly reflect income of an S corporation. See
R&TC Section 23801(d)(1).

Page 12 Form 100S Booklet 2024
S Excess Net Passive
Investment Income
In general, California R&TC Section 23811 conforms to IRC Section 1375. If an
S corporation does not have excess net passive investment income for federal purposes, then the S corporation will not have excess net passive investment income for California purposes.
If at the close of the taxable year, an
S corporation has undistributed earnings and profits from previous years as a C corporation and has passive investment income that represents more than 25% of total gross receipts, then the S corporation may be subject to tax on the excess net passive investment income at the rate of 8.84% (10.84% in the case of a financial corporation). See R&TC
Section 23811 for more information.
If an S corporation has an 80% or greater ownership stake in a C corporation, dividends received from that C corporation are not treated as passive investment income, for purposes of
IRC Sections 1362 and 1375, if the dividends are attributable to the earnings and profits of the C corporation derived from the active conduct of a trade or business.
T Water's-Edge Reporting
C corporations filing on a water's-edge basis are required to use Form 100W, California
Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return -
Water's-Edge Filers, to file their California tax return. S corporations filing on water's-edge basis use Form 100S to file their California tax return.
Taxpayers may elect to compute income attributable to California on the basis of a water's-edge election. In general, affiliated foreign corporations are excluded from the combined report.
To make the water's-edge election, an
S corporation files Form 100-WE, Water's-Edge
Election. For the election to be valid for any taxable year, sign and attach Form 100-WE to the original timely filed Form 100S. Attach a copy of the signed Form 100-WE to all subsequent returns filed during the election period.
To be allowed to file on a water's-edge basis, the S corporation must, among other things, do the following:

  • File returns on a water's-edge basis for a period of 84 months.
  • Agree to business income treatment of dividends received from certain corporations.
  • Consent to the taking of certain depositions and the acceptance of subpoenas duces tecum requiring the reasonable production of documents.

Get Form 100W Tax Booklet, for more information.
U Amended Return
To correct or change a previously filed
Form 100S, file the most current Form 100X.
Using an incorrect form may delay processing of the amended return. File Form 100X within six months after the corporation filed an amended federal return or after the final federal determination, if the
IRS examined and changed the corporation's federal return.
V Information Returns
Like-Kind Exchanges
California requires taxpayers who exchange property located in California for like-kind property located outside of California under
IRC Section 1031, to file an annual information return with the FTB. For more information, get form FTB 3840, California Like-Kind
Exchanges, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for like kind.
Payments
Every S corporation engaged in a trade or business and making or receiving certain payments in the course of the trade or business is required to file information returns to report the amount of such payments.
Payments that must be reported include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Annual payments of $600 or more for compensation for services not subject to withholding, commissions, fees, prizes and awards, payments to independent contractors, rents, royalties, legal services whether or not the payee is incorporated, interest (such as interest charged for late payment), and pensions.
  • Annual payments of $10 or more for interest earned and dividends.
  • All payment amounts made by a broker or barter exchange.
  • All payment amounts for gross proceeds paid to an attorney whether or not the services are performed for the payer.
  • Cash payments over $10,000 received in a trade or business.

FTB will be able to process the return or issue the refund faster.
Preparer Tax Identification Numbers (PTIN)
Tax preparers must provide their PTIN on the tax returns they prepare. Preparers who want a
PTIN should go to the IRS website at irs.gov and search for ptin.
Paid Preparer Authorization
If the S corporation wants to allow the FTB to discuss its 2024 tax return with the paid preparer who signed it, check the "Yes" box in the signature area of the return. This authorization applies only to the individual whose signature appears in the "Paid
Preparer's Use Only" section of the return. It does not apply to the firm, if any, shown in that section.
If the "Yes" box is checked, the S corporation is authorizing the FTB to call the paid preparer to answer any questions that may arise during the processing of the tax return. The
S corporation is also authorizing the paid preparer to:

  • Respond to certain FTB notices about math errors, offsets, and tax return preparation.

The S corporation is not authorizing the paid preparer to receive any refund check, bind the S corporation to anything (including any additional tax liability), or otherwise represent the S corporation before the FTB.
The authorization will automatically end no later than the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing the S corporation's
2025 tax return. If the S corporation wants to expand the paid preparer's authorization, go to ftb.ca.gov/poa. If the S corporation wants to revoke the authorization before it ends, notify the FTB in writing or call 800.852.5711.
X Net Operating Loss (NOL)
For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2027,
California has suspended the
NOL carryover deduction. Corporations may continue to compute and carryover an
NOL during the suspension period. However, corporations with taxable income of less than $1,000,000 or with disaster loss carryovers are not affected by the
NOL suspension rules.
The carryover period for suspended losses is extended by:

  • Three years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2024.
  • Two years for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before

January 1, 2025.

  • One year for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and before

January 1, 2026.
For more information, see R&TC Section
24416.24.
R&TC Sections 24416 through 24416.7,
Sections 24416.21 through 24416.24, and
Section 25108 provide for
NOL deductions incurred in the conduct of a trade or business.
R&TC Sections 24347.5 and 24347.11 through and 24347.13 provide the treatment for disaster losses incurred in an area declared by the President of the United States or the
Governor of California as a disaster area.
For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2014, and before January 1, 2029, taxpayers may deduct a disaster loss sustained in any city, county, or city and county in
California that is proclaimed by the Governor to be in a state of emergency. For these
Governor-only declared disasters, subsequent state legislation is not required to activate the disaster loss provisions. See R&TC
Section 24347.14 for more information.
Losses taken into account under the disaster provisions may not be included in computing regular
NOL deductions.
For more information, get form FTB 3805Q; form FTB 3805Z, Enterprise Zone Deduction and Credit Summary; form FTB 3807, Local
Agency Military Base Recovery Area Deduction and Credit Summary; or form FTB 3809,
Targeted Tax Area Deduction and Credit
Summary.
Y At-Risk Rules
California S corporations are subject to IRC
Section 465 relating to the at-risk rules. For more information, get federal Form 6198,
At-Risk Limitations. Losses from passive activities are first subject to the at-risk rules and then to the passive activity rules.
Z Passive Activity Loss
Limitation
California S corporations generally follow IRC
Section 469 and the regulations thereunder that allow losses from passive activities to be applied only against income from passive activities.
California differs from federal law in that rental real estate activities of taxpayers engaged in a real property business are still treated as a passive activity.
California law also differs from federal law in that the passive activity loss rules are applied at both the S corporation level and at the shareholder level. The passive activity loss rules must be applied in determining the net income of the S corporation that will be taxed using the 1.5% tax rate. Subsequent to the income and deductions passing through to the shareholders, the rules are again applied in determining the net income of the shareholder. Treatment at the shareholder level is the same as the federal treatment prior to
January 1, 1994.

Page 14 Form 100S Booklet 2024
The passive activity loss rules apply to the
S corporation as if it were an individual (i.e., losses from passive activities may not be used to offset other income, except for $25,000 in losses from rental real estate). However, when determining whether the S corporation materially participates in the activity, the material participation rules that apply to a
"closely held C corporation" should be applied to the S corporation. For more information, see
IRC Section 469(h)(4).
S corporations must use form FTB 3801,
Passive Activity Loss Limitations, to compute the allowable net loss from passive activities.
AA Passive Activity Credits
S corporation credits subject to the passive activity credit limitation rules include the following:

  • Research Credit
  • Low-Income Housing Credit
  • Orphan Drug Credit

Get form FTB 3801-CR, Passive Activity Credit
Limitations, for more information.
BB Tax Credits
If a C corporation had unused credit carryovers when it elected S corporation status, the carryovers were reduced to
1/3 and transferred to the S corporation. The remaining 2/3 were disregarded. The allowable carryovers may be used to offset the 1.5% tax on net income in accordance with the respective carryover rules. These C corporation carryovers may not be passed through to shareholders. Get
Schedule C (100S), S Corporation Tax Credits, for more information.
S corporations may generate credits from both the Corporation Tax Law and the Personal
Income Tax Law. Follow the guidelines below:

  • If a credit listed on page 35 is allowed only under the Corporation Tax Law,

1/3 of the credit may be used to offset the S corporation tax or may be carried over, if allowed. The remaining
2/3 must be disregarded and may not be carried over. No part of the credit may be passed through to the shareholders.

  • If the credit is allowed only under Personal

Income Tax Law, the full credit may be passed through to the shareholders. No part of the credit may be used by the
S corporation to offset the S corporation tax or to be carried over.

  • If a credit is allowed under both the

Corporation Tax Law and Personal Income
Tax Law, the S corporation may use
1/3 of the credit to offset the S corporation tax or it may be carried over, if allowed. The remaining
2/3 must be disregarded and may not be carried over. The full amount of the credit, as calculated under the Personal
Income Tax Law, may also be passed through to the shareholders.
California Motion Picture & Television
Production Credits
The S corporation may not claim either the original, new, or Program 3.0 California Motion
Picture and Television Production Credit. The entire amount of the credit passes through to the shareholder. For more information, get form FTB 3541, California Motion Picture and
Television Production Credit.
Credits and credit carryovers may not reduce the minimum franchise tax, the QSub annual tax(es), built-in gains tax, excess net passive income tax, credit recaptures, the increase in tax imposed for the deferral of installment sale income, or an installment of
LIFO recapture tax.
CC Group Nonresident
Shareholder Return
Nonresident individual shareholders of an
S corporation doing business in California may elect to file a group nonresident return on Form 540NR, California Nonresident or
Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return. Get
FTB Pub. 1067, for more information.
S corporations are required to withhold income tax on certain payments to nonresident shareholders. Nonresident shareholders must file Form 540NR to claim the withholding even if there are no filing requirements.
DD Qualified Subchapter
S Subsidiary (QSub)
California has conformed to the sections of the
IRC that allow an S corporation to own a
QSub. A QSub is a domestic corporation that is not an ineligible corporation, i.e., it must be eligible to be an S corporation as defined by
IRC Section 1361(b)(2). In addition, 100% of the stock of the subsidiary must be held by the
S corporation parent and the parent must elect to treat the subsidiary as a QSub. A QSub is not treated as a separate entity and all assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of the QSub are treated as belonging to the parent S corporation. The activities of the
QSub are treated as activities of the parent
S corporation.
An election made by the parent S corporation under
IRC Section 1361(b)(3) to treat the corporation as a QSub for federal purposes is treated as a binding election for California purposes. A separate election is not filed for
California.
The federal election is made on federal
Form 8869, Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary
Election. California requires that an
S corporation parent attach a copy of the
Form 8869 for each QSub doing business or qualified to do business in California to the return for the taxable year during which the
QSub election was made. California follows the federal transitional relief procedures for perfecting a QSub election.
A QSub is subject to an $800 annual tax which is paid by the S corporation parent. The
QSub annual tax is due and payable when the
S corporation's first estimated tax payment is due. If the QSub is acquired, or a QSub election is made during the taxable year, the
QSub annual tax is due with the S corporation's next estimated tax payment after the date of the QSub election or acquisition. The QSub annual tax is subject to the estimated tax rules and penalties.
An S corporation that owns a QSub does not file a combined return. Instead, the
QSub is disregarded, and the activities, assets, liabilities, income, deductions, and credits of the QSub are considered to be the assets, liabilities, income, and credits of the S corporation. If the QSub is not unitary with the S corporation, then it is treated as a separate division and separate computations must be made to compute business income and apportionment factors for the QSub and the S corporation, and to apportion to
California the business income of each.
An S corporation parent must complete the Schedule QS, Qualified Subchapter
S Subsidiary (QSub) Information, and attach it to the Form 100S for each taxable year in which a QSub election is in effect.
EE California Use Tax
Use tax has been in effect in California since July 1, 1935. It applies to purchases of property from out-of-state sellers and is similar to sales tax paid on purchases made in California. If the S corporation has not already paid all use tax due to the California
Department of Tax and Fee Administration
(
CDTFA), it may be able to report and pay the use tax due on its state income tax return.
However, S corporations required to hold a California seller's permit or to otherwise register with the
CDTFA for sales and use tax purposes may not report use tax on their state income tax return. See the information below and the instructions for line 37 of the income tax return.
In general, S corporations must pay California use tax on purchases of merchandise for use in California, made from out-of-state sellers, for example, by telephone, online, by mail, or in person.
S corporations must pay California use tax on taxable items if:

  • The seller does not collect California sales or use tax; and
  • The S corporation uses, gifts, stores, or consumes the item in California.

Example: The S corporation purchases a conference table from a company in North
Carolina. The company ships the table from
North Carolina to the corporation's address in
California for the corporation's use, and does not charge California sales or use tax. The
S corporation owes use tax on the purchase.

Form 100S Booklet 2024 Page 15
However, not all purchases require the
S corporation to pay use tax. For example, the S corporation would include purchases of office equipment, but not exempt purchases of food products or prescription medicine. For more information on nontaxable and exempt purchases, the S corporation may refer to
Publication 61, Sales and Use Taxes: Tax
Expenditures, on the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration's website at cdtfa.ca.gov.
For more information about California use tax, please refer to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration's website at cdtfa.ca.gov and type "Find Information About
Use Tax" in the search bar.
Complete the Use Tax Worksheet on page 21 to calculate the amount due.
Extensions to File. If the S corporation requests an extension to file the tax return, wait until the S corporation files the return to report the purchases subject to use tax and to make the use tax payment.
Interest, Penalties, and Fees. Failure to timely report and pay use tax due may result in the assessment of interest, penalties, and fees.
Application of Payments. For purchases made during taxable years starting on or after January 1, 2015, payments and credits reported on an income tax return will be applied first to the use tax liability, instead of income tax liabilities, penalties, and interest.
Changes in Use Tax Reported. Do not file an
Amended S Corporation Franchise or Income
Tax Return (Form 100X) to revise the use tax previously reported. If the S corporation has changes to the amount of use tax previously reported on the original tax return, contact the California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration.
For assistance, go to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration's website at cdtfa.ca.gov, or call their Customer Service
Center at 1.800.400.7115 (TTY: 711) (for hearing and speech disabilities). For California income tax information, contact the FTB at ftb.ca.gov.
FF Property Subject To IRC
Section 179 Recapture
Special rules apply for gains from the sale, exchange or disposition of property for which an
IRC Section 179 expense deduction was claimed in a prior year. For federal purposes, the gain is no longer included in income at the entity level. However, it must be included in the taxable income of the S corporation for
California purposes.
S corporations should follow the instructions in federal Form 4797 with the exception that the amount of gain on property subject to the
IRC Section 179 expense deduction recapture (capital gain and ordinary gain) must be included in the taxable income of the S corporation. To accomplish this, the
S corporation will need to complete two sets of Schedule D-1, Sales of Business Property, and Schedule D (100S), S Corporation Capital
Gains and Losses and Built-In Gains. The first set of Schedule D-1 and Schedule D (100S) will include the sale or disposition of both
IRC
Section 179 assets and the sale of non-IRC
Section 179 business assets with the amount reported on Form 100S, Side 1, line 4.
The second set of Schedule D-1 and
Schedule D (100S) will include the sale or disposition of non-IRC Section 179 business assets only, with the amount reported on the
Schedule K and Schedule K-1 (100S).
See Specific Line Instructions for Property
Subject to
IRC Section 179 Expense Deduction
Recapture. Also, see the Schedule D-1
Instructions.
The S corporation should report the gain on property subject to the IRC Section 179 expense deduction recapture passed through to the shareholders on the Schedule K and Schedule K-1 (100S) as supplemental information as instructed on the federal
Form 4797.
GG Limited Liability Companies
(LLCs)
California law authorizes the formation of LLCs and recognizes out-of-state LLCs registered or doing business in California. The taxation of an LLC in California depends upon its classification as a corporation, partnership, or
"disregarded entity" for federal tax purposes.
If a LLC elects to be taxed as an S corporation for federal tax purposes, the LLC must file
Form 100S, Form 100-ES, form FTB 3539, and/or form FTB 3586 and enter the California corporation number,
FEIN, and California
SOS file number, if applicable, in the space provided. The FTB will (1) assign an identification number to an LLC that files as a corporation, and (2) notify the LLC with the identification number upon receipt of the first estimated tax payment, first tax payment, or the first tax return. The LLC will be subject to the applicable provisions of the
Corporation Tax Law and should be considered a corporation for purposes of all instructions unless otherwise indicated.
If an LLC elects to be taxed as a partnership for federal tax purposes, it must file Form 568,
Limited Liability Company Return of Income.
LLCs taxed as partnerships determine their income, deductions, and credits under the
Personal Income Tax Law and are subject to an annual tax as well as an annual fee based on total income.
If a Single Member Limited Liability Company
(SMLLC) is disregarded for federal tax purposes, get Form 568, Limited Liability
Company Tax Booklet, for information regarding SMLLC filing requirements.
A disregarded LLC reports its income, deductions, and credits on the return of its owner. However, an LLC that is disregarded is required to file and pay the annual LLC tax as well as the fee (if applicable) based on total income. Form 568 provides the FTB with information on the sole owner of the LLC, contains the owner's consent to be taxed on the income of the LLC, and provides for the computation of the LLC tax and fee.
HH Withholding
With certain limited exceptions, payers that are required to withhold and remit backup withholding to the
IRS are also required to withhold and remit to the FTB on income sourced to California. If the S corporation
(payee) has backup withholding, the
S corporation (payee) must contact the FTB to provide a valid taxpayer identification number, before filing the tax return. Failure to provide a valid taxpayer identification number may result in a denial of the backup withholding credit. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for backup withholding.
R&TC Section 18662 requires buyers to withhold income taxes when purchasing
California real property from corporate sellers with no permanent place of business in California immediately after the transfer.
Get FTB Pub. 1016, Real Estate Withholding
Guidelines, for more information.

If an LLC elects to be taxed as a corporation, see General Information GG, Limited Liability
Companies (LLCs), for more information.
Filing Form 100S without errors will expedite processing. Before mailing Form 100S, make sure entries have been made for the following:

Page 16 Form 100S Booklet 2024

  • California corporation number (assigned by the California SOS).
  • Federal employer identification number

(
FEIN).

  • California Secretary of State (SOS) file number, if applicable.

File the 2024 Form 100S for calendar year
2024 or for a fiscal year that begins in 2024.
Enter taxable year beginning and ending dates only if the return is for a short year or a fiscal year. If the S corporation reports its income using a calendar year, leave the date area blank. If a domestic corporation files the first
California tax return, the fiscal year beginning date must be the date the corporation is incorporated. If the return is filed for a short period (less than 12 months), write "short year" in black or blue ink in the top margin on Form 100S, Side 1. Convert all foreign monetary amounts to U.S. dollars.
The 2024 Form 100S may also be used if both of the following apply:

  • The corporation has a taxable year of less than 12 months that begins and ends in 2025.
  • The 2025 Form 100S is not available at the time the corporation is required to file its return. The S corporation must show its 2025 taxable year on the 2024

Form 100S and incorporate any tax law changes that are effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
California law is different from federal law.
California taxes S corporations under Chapter 2
(commencing with R&TC Section 23101) or Chapter 3 (commencing with R&TC
Section 23501) of the Corporation Tax Law.
Questions A through U
Answer all applicable questions and attach additional sheets, if necessary. Be sure to answer Questions C through U on Form 100S,
Side 3. Read the following instructions when answering:
Question A2 - Check the "Yes" or "No" box to indicate if the S corporation is deferring any income from the disposition of assets. If
"Yes," enter the four-digit year in which the assets were disposed (e.g., 2024). If there are multiple years, write "see attached" on the line and attach a schedule listing the years. This question is applicable if the S corporation is deferring any income from a disposition of assets in the current taxable year or prior taxable years.
Question A3 - Check the box for the type(s) of previously deferred income the S corporation is reporting. If there are multiple sources of income, check the box for the appropriate items and attach a schedule listing the income type and year of disposition. If the
S corporation is reporting "Other" types of previously deferred income, check the box for "Other" and attach a schedule listing the income type and year of disposition.
This question is applicable if the S corporation is reporting previously deferred income in the current taxable year or prior taxable years.
Question B - Transfer or acquisition of voting stock
All S corporations must answer all three questions. The questions provide information regarding changes in control or ownership of legal entities owning or under certain circumstances leasing California real property
(R&TC Section 64). (Real Property includes land, buildings, structures, fixtures - see R&TC
Section 104 for more information).
If any of the answers are "Yes," a Statement of Change in Control and Ownership of
Legal Entities, must be filed with the State of
California; failure to do so within 90 days of the event date will result in penalties. The form for this statement is form
BOE-100-B, filed with the California State Board of Equalization
(
BOE). Get this form and information from the
BOE website (boe.ca.gov) by searching for
Legal Entity Ownership Program (LEOP).
There may be a change in ownership or control if, during this taxable year, one of the following occurred with respect to this corporation or any of its subsidiaries:

  • The percentage of outstanding voting shares transferred to, or owned or controlled by, one person or one legal entity cumulatively exceeded 50%.
  • The total outstanding voting shares transferred to or held by one irrevocable trust or trust beneficiary cumulatively exceeded 50%.
  • One or more irrevocable proxies cumulatively transferred voting rights to more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares to one person or one entity.
  • This corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, cumulatively acquired ownership or control of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares or other ownership interests in any legal entity.
  • As of the end of this taxable year, cumulatively more than 50% of the total outstanding voting shares have been transferred in one or more transactions since an interest in California real property was transferred to the corporation that was excluded from property tax reassessment under R&TC 62(a)(2) which established an original co-owners' interest status.

For purposes of these questions, leased real property is a leasehold interest in taxable real property: (1) leased for a term of 35 years or more (including renewal options), if not leased from a government agency; or (2) leased for any term, if leased from a government agency.
R&TC Section 64(e) requires this information for use in determining whether a change in ownership has occurred under section 64(c) and (d); it is used by the
LEOP.
Question C - Principal business activity
(PBA) code
All S corporations must answer Question C.
Include the six digit PBA code from the
Principal Business Activity Codes chart included in this tax booklet. The code should be the number for the specific industry group from which the greatest percentage of
California "total receipts" is derived. "Total receipts" means gross receipts plus all other income. The California
PBA code number may be different from the federal PBA code number.
If, as its principal business activity, the corporation: (1) purchases raw material;
(2) subcontracts out for labor to make a finished product from the raw materials; and
(3) retains title to the goods, the corporation is considered to be a manufacturer and must enter one of the codes under "Manufacturing."
Also, write in the business activity and principal product or service on the lines provided.
Question E - Does this return include
Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiaries
(QSubs)?
Answer "Yes" if the S corporation owns a
QSub. Refer to the instructions for line 21 and line 32 to report the QSub annual tax. Be sure to complete Schedule QS and attach the schedule to Form 100S when filed.
Question N - Doing business as (DBA)
S corporations doing business under a name other than that entered on Side 1 of Form 100S must enter the
DBA name in Question N. If the
S corporation is doing business under multiple
DBAs attach a schedule listing all DBAs.
Leave Question N blank if the S corporation is not using a
DBA to conduct business.
Question Q - Reportable transaction or listed transaction
Federal Form 8886 is required to be attached to any return on which a deduction, loss, credit, or any other tax benefit is claimed or is reported, or any income the S corporation reported from an interest in a reportable transaction. If the S corporation is required to file this form with the federal return, attach a copy to the S corporation's Form 100S.
A material advisor is required to provide a reportable transaction number to all taxpayers and material advisors for whom the material advisor acts as a material advisor.
A Reportable Transaction is any transaction as defined in R&TC Section 18407 and Treas.
Reg. Section 1.6011-4 and includes, but is not limited to the following:

Form 100S Booklet 2024 Page 17

  • A Listed Transaction, or a transaction that is substantially similar to a Listed Transaction, which has been identified by the

IRS or the
FTB as a tax avoidance transaction.

  • A Confidential Transaction which is offered to a taxpayer under conditions of confidentiality and for which the taxpayer has paid a minimum fee.
  • A transaction with contractual protections which provides the taxpayer with the right to a full or partial refund of fees if all or part of the intended tax consequences from the transaction are not sustained.
  • A loss transaction under IRC Section 165 which is at least $10 million in any one year or $20 million in any combination of taxable years. (Those numbers would be reduced to $2 million and $4 million on the

Form 100S.)

  • A transaction of interest is a transaction that is the same as or substantially similar to one of the types of transactions that the

IRS has identified by notice, regulation, or other form of published guidance as a transaction of interest (entered into after
November 1, 2006).

  • A transaction with a significant book-tax difference (entered into prior to August 3, 2007). Beginning

January 6, 2006, this transaction was no longer required to be disclosed on
Form 8886. See
IRS Notice 2006-6.

  • A transaction where the taxpayer is claiming a tax credit of greater than $250,000 and held the asset for less than 45 days

(entered into prior to August 3, 2007).

Information I, Net Income Computation) must:

  • Transfer the amount from federal

Form 1120-S, line 22 to Form 100S, Side 1, line 1 and attach a copy of the federal return and all pertinent supporting schedules; or copy the information from federal
Form 1120-S, page 1, onto Form 100S,
Side 4, Schedule F and transfer the amount from Schedule F, line 22, to Form 100S,
Side 1, line 1.

If a specific line for the adjustment is not on Form 100S, enter the adjustment on line 7, Other additions, or line 12, Other deductions, and attach a schedule that explain the adjustment.
Line 2 - Taxes not deductible
California law does not permit a deduction for California corporation franchise or income taxes or any other taxes on, according to, or measured by net income or profits. Add these taxes to income on line 2.
Line 3 - Interest on government obligations
S corporations subject to the California franchise tax must report interest received on government obligations even though it may be exempt from state or federal individual income tax. This interest must be added to income on line 3. See line 12 instructions for S corporations subject to the California corporation income tax.

S corporations) shown on Schedule D (100S),
Section A, line 13.
Property Subject To IRC Section 179 Expense
Deduction Recapture
If the S corporation has a gain from the sale, exchange or disposition of property for which an
IRC Section 179 expense deduction was claimed in a prior year, special rules apply. For federal purposes, the gain is no longer included in income at the entity level.
However, it must be included in the taxable income of the S corporation for California purposes on Form 100S, line 4. See General
Information FF, Property Subject To
IRC
Section 179 Recapture, for more information.
The S corporation should complete two sets of Schedule D-1 and Schedule D (100S).
The first set of Schedule D-1 and Schedule D
(100S) will include the gain or loss from the sale or disposition of
IRC Section 179 assets as well as gain or loss from non-IRC
Section 179 business assets, and will be reported on the Form 100S. Indicate at the top of this Schedule D-1 and Schedule D
(100S) "
IRC Sec. 179 and Business Assets."
When completing Schedule D-1 and
Schedule D (100S) for the Form 100S, skip any instructions to report the gain or loss on
Schedule K or Schedule K-1 (100S). Transfer the gain amount to Form 100S, Side 1, line 4.
The second set of Schedule D-1 and
Schedule D (100S) is to report the gain or loss on non-
IRC Section 179 business assets for use on the Schedule K and
Schedule K-1 (100S). To accomplish this, the
S corporation should complete a Schedule D-1 and Schedule D (100S) with the gain or loss for the non-
IRC Section 179 business assets only. The amounts from this Schedule D-1 and Schedule D (100S) will be reported on the
Schedule K (100S) and Schedule K-1 (100S).
Indicate at the top of the Schedule D-1 and
Schedule D (100S) set "Non-
IRC Section 179
Business Assets Only."
Line 5 - Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation for S corporations follows the depreciation rules provided under
California Personal Income Tax Law. Unlike other corporations, an S corporation is allowed to compute depreciation using the
Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
(
MACRS). Complete Schedule B (100S), for assets subject to depreciation and for assets subject to amortization. Enter the total of
Schedule B (100S), Part
III, on Form 100S,
Side 1, line 5.
Line 6 - Portfolio income
Enter on this line net portfolio income not included in line 1 but that must be included in the S corporation's net income for computing the 1.5% tax. Include interest, dividends, and royalties. Do not include any passive activity amounts on this line. Instead, include passive activity amounts on line 7 or line 12.
Line 7 - Other additions
R&TC Section 24425 disallows expenses allocable to income, which is not included in the measure of the franchise tax or income tax.
Add back such deductions on this line.
Also, include on this line other items not added on any other line to arrive at California net income. Attach a schedule that clearly shows how each item was computed and explain the basis for the adjustment.
If a federal contribution deduction was taken in arriving at the amount entered on line 1, include that amount in the computation of line 7. See line 11, Charitable contributions.
Include any income from pass-through entities and passive activities on line 7.
Rental real estate activities owned directly by the S corporation are reported on federal
Form 8825, Rental Real Estate Income and
Expenses of a Partnership or an S Corporation.
Shuttered Venue Operator Grant. Under federal law, the
CAA, 2021 allows deductions for eligible expenses paid for with grant amounts. California law conforms to this federal provision with modifications. For
California purposes, if you are an ineligible entity and deducted eligible expenses for federal purposes, include this amount on line 7.

Page 18 Form 100S Booklet 2024 __
_ ... _


Paycheck Protection Program Loans
Forgiveness. Under federal law, the CAA,
2021 allows deductions for eligible expenses paid for with covered loan amounts. California law conforms to this federal provision with modifications. For California purposes, if you are an ineligible entity and deducted eligible expenses for federal purposes, include this amount on line 7.
Also, the ARPA expands PPP eligibility to include "additional covered nonprofit entities" which includes certain Code 501(c) nonprofit organizations and Internet-only news publishers and Internet-only periodical publishers. California law does not conform to this expansion of PPP eligibility. If you met the PPP eligibility requirements and excluded the amount from gross income for federal purposes, include this amount on line 7.
Other Loan Forgiveness. Under federal law, the
CAA, 2021 allows deductions for eligible expenses paid for with covered loan amounts.
California law conforms to this federal provision, with modifications. For California purposes, if you are an ineligible entity and deducted eligible expenses for federal purposes, enter the total amount of those expenses deducted on line 7.
Penalty Assessed by Professional Sports
League. California does not allow a business expense deduction for any fine or penalty paid or incurred by an owner of a professional sports franchise assessed or imposed by the professional sports league that includes that franchise. If the corporation deducted the fine or penalty for federal purposes, include this amount on line 7.
California Ordinary Net Gain or Loss. Before entering the amount from Schedule D-1, line 18, determine whether the gain is subject to built-in gains tax. If the gain is subject to built-in gains tax, enter the amount on
Schedule D (100S), Section A, Part
III so the built-in gains tax can be computed, and enter the difference between the amount on
Schedule D-1, line 18 and the amount subject to built-in gains tax on Form 100S, Side 1, line 7.
Gain on Installment Notes. Generally, when an S corporation sells assets in an installment sale, the S corporation defers the recognition of gain until it receives payments on the installment obligation. If the S corporation distributes the installment obligation to the shareholders in a corporate liquidation, the corporation pays 1.5% tax on the deferred gain in the final year under R&TC Section 24672.
The shareholders continue to defer the gain until they receive payments. If R&TC
Section 24672 applies, report the amount of deferred gain on this line.
Line 9 and Line 10 - Dividends deduction
Complete Schedule H (100S), S Corporation
Dividend Income Deduction.
Line 11 - Charitable contributions
The charitable contribution deduction for
California corporations is limited to the adjusted basis of the assets being contributed.
The deduction is 10% of California net income, without regard to charitable contributions and special deductions (e.g., the deduction for dividends received). The definition of California net income differs from federal taxable income for computing the charitable contribution deduction.
Per IRC Section 170(d)(2), five-year carryover provisions shall apply for excess charitable contributions.
For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2017, and before January 1, 2028, do not include any amounts taken into account for the College Access Tax Credit as a charitable contribution deduction on line 11.

Public Law 86-272
S corporations who meet the protections of
Public Law 86-272 are exempt from state taxes based upon, or measured by, net income.
However, they still are subject to the annual minimum franchise tax if they are doing business in, incorporated in, or qualified to transact intrastate business in California.

Line 22 through Line 24 - Tax credits
For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2027, there is a $5,000,000 limitation on the application of credits. The total of all credits including the carryover of any credit for the taxable year may not reduce the "tax", by more than $5,000,000. This limitation does not apply to the Low-Income Housing Credit. For taxpayers included in a combined report, the limitation is applied at the group level.
The S Corporation may not elect to receive a refundable credit for credits that are disallowed due to the credit limitation. Credits disallowed due to the limitation may be carried over.
The carryover period for disallowed credit is extended by the number of taxable years the credit was not allowed. For more information, refer to R&TC Sections 23036.4 and 23036.5.
An eligible assignee can claim assigned credits received this taxable year or carried over from prior years, against its tax liabilities. For more information, get form FTB 3544.
Note: The total amount of specific credit claimed on Form 100S and Schedule C (100S) should include both: (1) the total assigned credit claimed from form FTB 3544, Side 2,
Part B, column (j), and (2) the amount of credit claimed that was generated by the assignee.
Credits may be used to reduce the California tax liability; however, credits may not be used to reduce the tax on line 21 to an amount less than the sum of the minimum franchise tax plus the QSub annual tax(es), if applicable. Also, the S corporation is allowed to claim only
1/3 of the total credit generated against the 1.5% franchise tax. See General
Information AA, Passive Activity Credits, and BB, Tax Credits.
To figure tax credits, complete and attach the appropriate form for each credit claimed on
Form 100S. See page 35 for a list of available credits.

Purpose of Schedules
Schedule K is a summary schedule of all the shareholders' shares of the S corporation's income, deductions, credits, etc.
Schedule K-1 (100S) shows each shareholder's separate share of pass-through items and adjusted basis. Use federal Schedule K and
Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) as a basis for preparing California Schedule K and
Schedule K-1 (100S).
Amounts on Schedule K-1 (100S) may not add up to amounts reflected on Form 100S, because Form 100S calculates tax at the
S corporation level while Schedule K-1 (100S) amounts are calculated using different rules.
Attach one copy of each Schedule K-1 (100S) to the Form 100S filed with the FTB. Keep one copy of each Schedule K-1 (100S) for the S corporation's records, and give each shareholder a copy of Schedule K-1 (100S) on or before the due date of Form 100S.
Be sure to give each shareholder a copy of either the Shareholder's Instructions for
Schedule K-1 (100S) or specific instructions for each item reported on the shareholder's
Schedule K-1 (100S).
Substitute Forms
The S corporation needs approval from the FTB to use a substitute
Schedule K-1 (100S). The substitute schedule must include the Shareholder's Instructions for

Deductions
Line 11 - IRC Section 179 expense deduction
The amount of expense deduction for recovery property that can be claimed from all sources will vary depending on the type of property and the year of designation. For more information, see
IRC Section 179 and R&TC Section 17201.
Line 12a - Charitable contributions
Enter the total amount of charitable contributions made by the S corporation during its taxable year on Schedule K and each shareholder's distributive share on
Schedule K-1 (100S). On an attachment to each schedule, separately show the dollar amount and type of contributions.
A resident shareholder is allowed a deduction for charitable contributions to a qualified organization as provided in
IRC Section 170.
Do not include any amounts taken into account for the College Access Tax Credit as a charitable contribution on line 12a.
Line 12b - Investment interest expense
Complete this line whether or not a shareholder is subject to the investment interest rules.
Include on this line interest paid or accrued to purchase or carry property held for investment.
Property held for investment includes property that produces portfolio income (interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, etc.). Therefore, interest expense allocable to portfolio income should be reported on Schedules K and
K-1 (100S), line 12b rather than line 12e.
Investment interest does not include interest expense allocable to a passive activity. A passive activity is a rental activity or a trade or business activity in which the shareholder does not materially participate.
Property held for investment includes a shareholder's interest in a trade or business activity that is not a passive activity to the shareholder and in which the shareholder does not materially participate. An example would be a shareholder's working interest in oil and gas property (i.e., the shareholder's interest is not limited) if the shareholder does not materially participate in the oil and gas activity.
The amount on line 12b will be reflected (after applying the investment interest expense limitations) by individual shareholders on their Schedule
CA (540 or 540NR), California
Adjustments.

IRC
Section 212 expenses and are subject to IRC
Section 212 limitations at the shareholder level.
However, interest expense related to portfolio income (loss) is generally investment interest expense and is reported on line 12b.
Line 12e - Other deductions
Include on this line deductions not claimed on any other line. Attach a schedule that clearly shows how each deduction was computed and explain the basis for the deduction.
Financial Incentive for Seismic Improvement.
For taxable years beginning on or after
July 1, 2015, California allows an exclusion from gross income for any amount received as a loan forgiveness, grant, credit, rebate, voucher, or other financial incentive issued by the California Residential Mitigation Program or the California Earthquake Authority to assist a residential property owner or occupant with expenses paid, or obligations incurred, for earthquake loss mitigation. If for federal purposes, the S corporation included any amount as income on federal Schedule K and
K-1, enter that amount in column (c).
Penalty Assessed by Professional Sports
League. California does not allow a business expense deduction for any fine or penalty paid or incurred by an owner of a professional sports franchise assessed or imposed by the professional sports league that includes that franchise. If for federal purposes, the corporation deducted the fine or penalty on the federal Schedule K and K-1, enter that amount in column (c) as an adjustment because for state purposes, the deduction is not allowed.
Credits
Line 13a - Low-income housing credit
R&TC Section 23610.5 provides that a credit may be claimed by owners of residential rental projects providing low-income housing. The credit is generally effective for buildings placed in service after 1986. If the shareholders are eligible to claim the low-income housing credit, attach a copy of form FTB 3521 Low-Income

(Schedule K-1 (100S) only)
Table 1 - Enter the shareholder's pro-rata share of nonbusiness income from intangibles.
Because the source of this income must be determined at the shareholder level, do not enter income in this category in column (e).
If the income (loss) for an income item is a mixture of income (loss) in different subclasses (for example, short and long-term capital gain), attach a supplemental schedule providing a breakdown of income in each subclass.

Form 100S Booklet 2024 Page 27
Nonbusiness income is all income other than business income as defined under Table 2.
Table 2 - The S corporation will complete
Schedule K-1(100S), Table 2, Items A - C.
In Item A, enter the shareholder's pro-rata share of the S corporation's business income.
The shareholder will then add that income to its own business income and apportion the combined business income.
Business income is defined by Cal. Code Regs., tit. 18 section 25120(a) as income arising in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business. Business income includes income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitutes integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business.
In Item B, enter the shareholder's pro-rata share of nonbusiness income from real and tangible property that is located in California.
Because this income has a California source, this income should also be included on the appropriate line in column (e).
In Item C, enter the shareholder's pro-rata share of the S corporation's payroll, property, and sales factors. The S corporation will complete Schedule K-1(100S), Table 2, Item C to report the shareholder's distributive share of property, payroll and sales total within

The shareholders will use Schedule K-1(100S),
Table 2, Item C to determine if they meet threshold amounts of California property, payroll, and sales. For more information on the doing business test, see General Information A,
Franchise or Income Tax.

Schedule L - Balance Sheet

If the S corporation's total receipts (see top of page 67 for the definition of total receipts) for the taxable year and total assets at the end of the taxable year are less than $250,000, the S corporation is not required to complete
Schedule L and Schedule M-1. However, this information must be available in the future upon request.
Schedule M-1 - Reconciliation of Income (Loss) per Books
With Income (Loss) per Return
Schedule M-1 is used to reconcile the difference between book and tax accounting for an income or expense item. If the
S corporation's total receipts for the taxable year and total assets at the end of the taxable year are less than $250,000, the S corporation is not required to complete Schedule L and
Schedule M-1. However, this information must be available in the future upon request.
To reconcile the S corporation's income (loss) per books with the income (loss) per the
California return, adjustments consistent with
California income and franchise tax law must be made to the book income and expenses to compute the California income (loss) on
Schedule M-1, line 8. These adjustments will convert book income to the total California income (loss) reflected on line 19, column (d) of Schedule K.
S Corporation With Total Assets of At Least
$10 Million or More but Less Than $50
Million. The
IRS allows corporations with at least $10 million but less than $50 million in total assets at tax year end to file Schedule M-1
(Form 1120-S) in place of Schedule M-3
(Form 1120-S), Parts
II and III. However,
Schedule M-3 (Form 1120-S), Part I, is required for these corporations. For California purposes, the S corporation must complete the
California Schedule M-1, and attach either of the following:

  • A copy of the federal Schedule M-3

(Form 1120-S) and related attachments to the Form 100S.

  • A complete copy of the federal return.

The FTB will accept the federal Schedule M-3
(Form 1120-S) in a spreadsheet format if more convenient.

Schedule M-2 - CA

Accumulated Adjustments
Account, Other Adjustments
Account, and Other Retained
Earnings
The computation of the California Accumulated
Adjustments Account (AAA) and Other
Adjustments Account (OAA) is similar to the federal computation applying California amounts. Get the instructions for federal
Form 1120-S and
IRC Section 1368 for more information.
Column (a) - The AAA is an account of the
S corporation that generally reflects the accumulated undistributed net income of the corporation for the corporation's post-1986 years. S corporations with accumulated
E&P from C corporation years must maintain the
AAA to determine the tax effect of distributions during S corporation years and the post-termination transition period.
An S corporation without accumulated
E&P does not need to maintain the AAA in order to determine the tax effect of distributions. However, if an S corporation without accumulated
E&P engages in certain transactions to which IRC Section 381(a) applies, such as a merger into an S corporation with accumulated
E&P, the S corporation must be able to calculate its AAA at the time of the merger for purposes of determining the tax effect of post-merger distributions. Therefore, it is recommended that all S corporations maintain the
AAA.
At the end of the taxable year, the AAA is determined by taking into account all items of income, loss, and deductions for the taxable year (including nondeductible losses and expenses that are not capitalized but excluding certain exempt income and state taxes attributable to C corporation years). After the year-end income and expense adjustments are made, the account is reduced by distributions made during the taxable year. The AAA should be reduced by the California built-in gains tax amount and the minimum franchise tax.
The amount on Form 100S, Side 1, line 2, should be included as an other addition on
Schedule M-2, line 3, and as an other reduction on Schedule M-2, line 5. Also, include any other adjustments to arrive at California income.
The AAA may have a negative balance at year-end as a result of losses or deductions from the S corporation.
Column (b) - The other adjustments account is adjusted for tax-exempt income (and related expenses) of the S corporation. After adjusting for tax-exempt income, the account is reduced for any distributions made during the year.
Column (c) - Other retained earnings include appropriated and unappropriated retained earnings accumulated in prior years when the
S corporation was a C corporation. Line 1, column (c) for the first S corporation return will be the sum of the ending balances of appropriated and unappropriated retained earnings for the previous year.
Distributions
Generally, property distributions (including cash) are applied in the following order to reduce accounts of the S corporation that are used to compute the tax effect of distributions made by the S corporation to its shareholders:

  1. Reduce the AAA determined without regard to any net negative adjustment for the taxable year (but not below zero).

If distributions during the taxable year exceed the
AAA at the close of the taxable year determined without regard to any net negative adjustment for the taxable year, the
AAA is allocated pro-rata to each distribution made during the taxable year.
See IRC Section 1368(c). The term "net negative adjustment" means the excess, if any, of the reductions in the AAA for the taxable year (other than distributions) over the increases in the
AAA for the taxable year.

  1. Reduce accumulated E&P. Generally, the

S corporation has accumulated E&P only if it has not distributed E&P accumulated in prior years when the S corporation was a C corporation,
IRC Section 1361(a)(2), or when the S corporation merged with another corporation that has C corporation accumulated
E&P. The only adjustments that can be made to the accumulated E&P of an
S corporation are both of the following: a. Reductions for dividend distributions. b. Adjustments for redemptions, liquidations, reorganizations, etc.

  1. Reduce the OAA.
  2. Reduce any remaining shareholders' equity account.

Shareholders' previously taxed income (PTI) on federal Form 1120-S, Schedule M-2, column (c) - California S corporations will never have undistributed PTI. The federal code section that created PTI was removed from the
IRC before California incorporated the federal
S corporation provisions into the R&TC.

Page 28 Form 100S Booklet 2024
Elections Relating to the Order of
Distributions
The corporation may modify the ordering rules by making one or more of the following elections:

  • Election to distribute accumulated E&P first.

If the corporation has accumulated E&P and wants to distribute E&P before making distributions from the AAA, it may elect to do so with the consent of all its affected shareholders - IRC Section 1368(e)(3)(B).
This election is irrevocable and applies only for the taxable year for which it is made. For more information regarding this election, see "Statement Regarding Elections".

  • Election to make a deemed dividend. If the corporation wants to distribute all or part of its C corporation accumulated

E&P through a deemed dividend, it may elect to do so with the consent of all its affected shareholders -
IRC Section 1368(e)(3)(B).
Under this section, the corporation will be treated as also having made the election to distribute
E&P first. The amount of the deemed dividend cannot exceed the accumulated
E&P at the end of the taxable year reduced by any actual distributions of accumulated
E&P made during the taxable year. A deemed dividend is treated as if it were a pro-rata distribution of money to the shareholders, received by the shareholders, and immediately contributed back to the corporation all on the last day of the taxable year. This election is irrevocable and applies only for the taxable year for which it is made.
Statement Regarding Elections
To make any elections relating to the order of distribution, the corporation must attach a statement to a timely filed original Form 100S or amended Form 100S for the year in which the election is made. The corporation must identify the election it is making and state that each shareholder consents to the election.
A corporate officer must sign the statement under penalties of perjury on behalf of the corporation. The statement of election to make a deemed dividend must include the amount of the deemed dividend distributed to each shareholder.
When making either of the elections, the corporation must prepare copies of federal
Form 1099-DIV for shareholders to report this dividend as taxable income.
The corporation may file the election for
California purposes only. It is not necessary for the corporation to have the same election for federal purposes in order to make a California election. However, regardless of whether or not the corporation makes the same election on the federal return, the corporation must attach a separate election statement to the California return.
C Corporation E&P
If the S corporation was a C corporation in a prior year(s) and has C corporation
E&P at the end of the taxable year enter that amount on line 10. For this purpose, C corporation
E&P means the remaining balance of E&P of any
S corporation for any taxable year when it was not an S corporation. If the S corporation has
C corporation
E&P, it may be liable for excess net passive income tax and the distributions to shareholders may have different tax consequences for federal and California purposes. See instructions for Form 100S,
Side 2, line 27 and line 28, for details on these taxes.

Principal Business Activity Codes
This list of principal business activities and their associated codes is designed to classify a business by the type of activity in which it is engaged to facilitate the administration of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. These principal business activity codes are based on the North American Industry Classification System.
Using the list of activities and codes below, determine from which activity the company derives the largest percentage of its ''total receipts.'' Total receipts is defined as the sum of gross receipts or sales (Form 100S, Side 4, Schedule F , line 1a) plus all other income (Form 100S, Side 4, Schedule F , lines 4 and 5). If the company purchases raw materials and supplies them to a subcontractor to produce the finished product, but retains title to the product, the company is considered a manufacturer and must use one of the manufacturing codes (311110-339900).
Once the principal business activity is determined, entries must be made on
Form 100S, Question C. For the business activity code number, enter the six-digit code selected from the list below. On the next line enter a brief description of the company's business activity. Finally, enter a description of the principal product or service of the company on the next line.
