Service Overview

California Has Its Own Appeals System

When you disagree with an FTB determination — a proposed assessment, a denied refund, a residency finding — you first respond with a protest to the Notice of Proposed Assessment; if that doesn’t resolve it, you can appeal to the independent California Office of Tax Appeals (OTA), which hears cases before administrative law judges.

How Its Work

Why Deadlines Are Everything

Each stage has a firm clock — the protest window on a Notice of Proposed Assessment, and the appeal window to the OTA. Miss one and the assessment can become final and collectible, so our first job is to pin down which notice you have and how long you have to act, then draft and argue the case.

We give an honest read on the strength of your position and never guarantee a result.
