FTB Tax Issues – How I Can Help

I can assist taxpayers with many types of California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) tax issues, including state tax audit and collection notices, delinquent returns, tax balances, collection enforcement actions, and other controversies with the FTB.

Many taxpayers are familiar with the IRS but may not realize that California has its own tax agency with separate but similar rules, procedures, and collection processes. If you owe California income taxes or have received a notice from the FTB, it is important to understand what the notice means, what deadlines apply, and what options may be available.

I can help with matters such as:

• California FTB notices and correspondence
• Delinquent California tax returns
• State tax balances and payment arrangements
• Penalty relief requests
• Collection issues, including levies and liens
• Reviewing and responding to proposed adjustments
• State tax resolution strategies

Every tax situation is different. I review the facts of your case, explain your options in plain language, and develop a practical strategy based on your specific circumstances. My goal is to help you resolve your California tax issues as efficiently as possible while protecting your rights throughout the process.

My experience as a former Associate Chief of Appeals with the IRS gives me a unique perspective on tax controversy matters. I understand how tax agencies evaluate disputes, the importance of presenting well-supported positions, and the value of addressing issues proactively before they become more serious.

Whether you are dealing with the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board, or both, I can help you understand your options and work toward a resolution.

If you have received an FTB notice or are concerned about a California tax issue, contact me for a confidential consultation. We’ll review your situation and determine the best path forward.
