The LLC was formed in CA, and then a few years later, changed its domicile state to TX, but keeping its main operations in CA, with a warehouse.  Most of the products are shipped from CA, except for some Amazon sales.  Most of the sales will be reported as CA sales, which will be about 99% CA and 1% of sales to TX.  How do I report the change of domicile state and report the apportioned income?

    https://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/foreignfaqs.shtml has information about registering. To answer your question we would need to know what type of return you are filing. Regardless of the answer, I believe all income is taxable to CA with credit for taxes paid to another state (I believe that would be ZERO for TX.)

    It will be the Form 1065 for Federal.  Yes, I agree, I believe most income is taxable to CA.  Since TX has no state tax, so I do not need to generate a multi-state tax return, correct?  Currently we are filing Federal 1065 and a CA LLC return.  Thanks!

    Texas has a Franchise (Gross Receipts) Tax and an annual report type filing

    The more I know the more I don’t know.

    Texas requires a Franchise Tax, do I believe you do need to do multi state return.
