I have the same issue and hoping that Proseries finds a way to resolve this. We're just going to paper file the CA-100 for the LLC but this is annoying!

On the "California S Corporation Information Worksheet" in the top right corner where it asks for CA Corp No. you can enter LLC IS FILING AS A CORPORATION and it will work fine. I already e-filed mine and worked fine

Have you checked the CA Secretary of State website to see if one was assigned to it when they registered with the SOS?

You can search by entity name here:

It's my understanding that if you're an LLC in CA you have a Corp number. If you don't have a Corp #, you're not an LLC in CA.

When you file your LLC paperwork with FTB, they assign you a number.

If you didn't file your paperwork with FTB, you're not an LLC.

So, like Just-Lisa-Now says, check the California Registry. I think you can download a copy of your registration from there, though I don't do a lot of CA business, so I'm not positive.

I have the same issue. My client has the 12 digit "File Number" issued to the LLC upon formation. but not the 7 digit "Corporation" number that ProSeries wants. Discussion with CA Sec of State who told me a Corporation number would not be issued to an LLC that filed for 2553 electing to be taxed as an S-Corporation. Next call is to CA Franchise Tax Board I guess or ProSeries or enter applied for which will allow E-Filing??
