for Businesses

You can use MyFTB Account for Businesses to:

View estimated income tax payments before filing your return. Claiming the wrong amount of estimated tax payments causes processing delays which delays your refund.
Verify the exact entity name to use when filing a return to avoid another common error that causes processing delays.
