Board of Equalization

 

If you receive a Demand for Tax Payment, it means you have a tax or fee liability that is due and payable by the date indicated.

 

Employment Development Department

The EDD sends out Employer Account Statements (DE 2176) when employers owe past due amounts and/or do not submit quarterly/annual reports when due.

The DE 2176 explains the reason for the statement and requests payment in full and/or the return(s).I

 

Employers who do not file and pay liabilities timely are subject to the filing of a State Tax Lien.

 

Offers in Compromise allow qualified tax debtors to eliminate a payroll tax liability at less that full value.

 

If you receive a notice from the Franchise Tax Board requesting a return or payment for taxes, contact us immediately.

Even if you can’t pay your taxes in full, file your return to avoid further penalties.

 

Internal Revenue Service

If you do not pay in full when you file, you will receive a bill.

This bill begins the collection process.

The first bill you receive will explain the reason for your balance due and demand payment in full.

It will include the tax due plus penalties and interest that are adding to your unpaid balance from the date your taxes were due. As former IRS Agents we completely understand the process.


 

Liens, Levies, and Offsets

 

Liens, levies and offsets are three ways to collect unpaid taxes.

A lien provides public notice to your creditors that someone has a claim against your property. When the debt is paid, the lien is released.

A levy gives the creditor the authority to actually take and sell your property to satisfy the debt. A

n offset occurs when the taxes that you owe are deducted (offset) from a refund due by another government agency.

 

Board of Equalization

A lien is a legal claim to your property as security for your tax or fee debt.

You will receive in the mail you a preliminary notice at least 30 days before filing a lien with the county recorder.

If you do not pay your liabilities or make arrangements to settle your tax or fee debt, BOE may levy (seize) any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.

The BOE will usually only levy property after sending you a Demand for Payment letter and you have neglected or refused to pay the tax or fee.

 

Employment Development Department

The EDD may record a state tax lien against employers who do not file required returns and pay liabilities timely. For more information, please see Information Sheet: State Tax Lien (DE631TL).

 

Franchise Tax Board

FTB may record against taxpayers when their tax debts are delinquent. FTB notifies taxpayers 30 days prior to recording the lien.

If the taxpayer does not respond, a lien is recorded with the county recorder.

 

Call us today if you have any concerns or questions about any matter if you owe back state or federal taxes. We only handle cases with tax debt of over $15,000.
