Non-Resident Partners or Shareholders?

S-Corporations, partnerships, and LLC’s: March 16, 2009 is the Franchise Tax Board deadline for first-time filers and remitters of nonwage withholding for nonresidents to apply under the FTB's 2008 Nonresident Withholding Incentive Program and avoid penalties. Can send in past-due 2008 withholding as additional compensation on behalf of the nonresident payee and pay interest by March 16, 2009 and the FTB will waive some failure-to-file penalties and will not audit withholding for tax year 2007 and earlier.
