Where do you find California franchise tax forms?

California franchise tax forms are available at the Forms and Publications Page, as shown on the California Franchise Tax Board website. Users can find forms using the Form Locator search tool or by clicking through the links in the Get Forms section on the FTB Forms and Publications page.

As of July 2015, the 540 income tax return, the California Franchise Tax Board lists the 540 instructions, 540 2EZ income tax return and 540-ES estimated tax voucher as the top forms, and they are available for direct download without searching.
