Crap. I actually missed 1-2 years of paying the $800 franchise tax because like a lot of other people on this thread, it’s just used for hobbies, makes no money, and lies fallow 99% of the time. I’ve never gotten a fine in the mail for this though. Does anyone know if there’s some sort of online portal or phone number that is the best place for me to pay all the taxes and fines and make sure that in their records I am even?

Perhaps you want the website for the secretary of state. You can also look up any business and see all the public forms plus the address they're using (for those notices you're not getting).

It might be that the LLC is liable for the taxes and not you personally. Do you really want to pay $1600 for something you aren’t really using or do you want to abandon it and walk away?

Tax collecting people probably already thought about that problem..
