Corporations Code.
(2) If a taxpayer files a return with the Franchise Tax Board that

(e) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), any limited partnership that
ceased doing business prior to January 1, 1997, filed a final return
with the Franchise Tax Board for a taxable year ending before January
1, 1997, and filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary
of State pursuant to Section 15623 of the Corporations Code prior to
January 1, 1997, shall not be subject to the tax imposed by this
chapter for any period following the date the certificate of
dissolution was filed with the Secretary of State, but only if the
limited partnership files a certificate of cancellation with the
Secretary of State pursuant to Section 15623 of the Corporations
Code. In the case where a notice of proposed deficiency assessment of
tax or a notice of tax due (whichever is applicable) is mailed after
January 1, 2001, the first sentence of this subdivision shall not
apply unless the certificate of cancellation is filed with the
Secretary of State not later than 60 days after the date of the
