Step by step
Get Form 568
Gather last year's income and expense records. A Dulybook summary can help you organize them; check it against your bank statements first.
Fill in Form 568 using tax software, or hand the export to a preparer.
E-file, or mail it to the FTB address in the instructions.
If you need more time, California gives an automatic 6-month extension to file, but not to pay.
