What is an FTB Administrative Termination (e.g. cancellation, dissolution, surrender)?

The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) has the authority to administratively terminate (e.g. cancel, dissolve, surrender) any California (domestic) limited liability company, California (domestic) stock corporation, or California (domestic) or registered foreign (formed outside of California) nonprofit corporation if:

  • A California (domestic) limited liability company’s rights, powers, and privileges have been suspended by FTB for at least 60 continuous months.
  • A California (domestic) stock corporation’s rights, powers, and privileges have been suspended by FTB for at least 60 continuous months.
  • A nonprofit corporation’s rights, powers, and privileges have been suspended or forfeited by FTB for at least 48 continuous months.

Once initiated by FTB, the business has 60-calendar days to act (see the Frequently Asked Questions below for more information) before it is permanently FTB administratively terminated (e.g. cancelled, dissolved, surrendered). Download and search the notices, posted below, to determine whether your business is pending FTB Administrative Termination.
