In California a Tax Status Compliance Certificate is called an Entity Status Letter and is issued by the California Franchise Tax Board for a Company or Sole Proprietor which has met all of its California tax obligations.

A California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) Entity Status Letter, also called a Tax Status Letter, or a Franchise Tax Board Letter of Good Standing, is often required for loans, to renew business licenses, or to do business with another company in California or any other state.

A California Franchise Tax Board FTB Letter of Good Standing is a statement from the California Franchise Tax Board that all appropriate returns and taxes have been filled out and paid.

A California FTB Entity Status Letter is different from a California Good Standing Certificate, also referred to as a California Certificate of Existence or a California Certificate of Status. A California Good Standing Certificate is issued by the California Secretary of State and implies that the California business is up to date with business filings and is in compliance with California corporation laws. The California FTB Entity Status Letter contains public information and does not reflect the entity's status with any other California state agency.

Please note: the California Franchise Tax Board does not issue a Letter of Good Standing for Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Partnerships or General Partnerships.

A valid expiration date is not written on a California Tax Status Compliance Certificate.  The validity of a California Tax Clearance Certificate is usually determined by the intended recipient of the California Tax Status Compliance Certificate.
