California Corporate Reinstatement: Revive (Reinstate) a Corporation or LLC
California Reinstatement
If your entity has been suspended by California, it usually means you either did not file a Statement of Information, have unpaid taxes or have penalties due, or any combination thereof. SunDoc Filings can answer any questions you have in regard to reinstating your company with the State.
Establish which Agency Suspended the Corporation and Why
Contact the California Franchise Tax Board and the Secretary of State to find out which agency suspended your company. They will provide you with your company's reviver requirements.
Common Reasons for Suspension
California Secretary of State's office:
• Failure to file and pay the annual Statement of Information.
• Failure to file a Statement of Information on time may result in a $250 late fee. In addition, the California Franchise Tax Board may assess interest on the $250 late fee.
California Franchise Tax Board's office:
• Failure to pay the minimum tax of $800 a year (assessed after the first year) or failure to pay any taxes that are owed.
• Failure to file tax returns. Tax returns are required annually regardless of whether the corporation was doing business or not.
• Failure to file the Statement of Information with the California Secretary of State, which resulted in a $250 late fee that has accrued interest.
