Partner failed to close LLC and now we owe $2400 to the FTB.


I live in California. My business partner failed to close the LLC we owned because he submitted a certificate of dissolution instead of a certificate of cancellation. I don\’t consider it his fault really, because the Secretary of State doesn\’t confirm anything when it\’s processed. We didn\’t receive any notices anything was wrong. About 1.5 years later, I discover that the LLC is, in fact, not closed, and that we owe the FTB $1600 in fees and the IRS $780 in late fees. I\’ve paid $1600 of it already ($800/year LLC fee), but there\’s $780 in late fees. Is there any strategy to talking to the FTB or IRS and get this reduced or dismissed? It\’s gotten very out of hand.
