• every LLC that is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes that has income, gain, loss, or deduction from New York State sources; and
• every domestic or foreign LLC (including a limited liability investment company (LLIC) or a limited liability trust company (LLTC)), or LLP that is required to file a New York State partnership return and that has income, gain, loss, or deduction from New York State sources; and
• every regular partnership that is required to file a New York partnership return that has income, gain, loss, or deduction from New York State soruces, and had New York source gross income for the preceding tax year of at least $1 million.

Note: A partnership, LLC, or LLP with no income, gain, loss, or deduction from New York sources who is filing a partnership return solely because it has a New York resident partner, is formed under the laws of New York State, or is dormant, is not subject to the filing fee.
