FTB Business Audit Representation

Service Overview

California Business Audits Turn on Apportionment and Nexus

When the FTB audits a business, the fights are distinctly Californian: apportionment (how much of a multistate company’s income California can tax), nexus (whether an out-of-state business owes California tax at all), the $800 minimum franchise tax, and California-specific credits. These are technical, high-dollar issues that don’t appear in a purely federal audit.

How Its Work

How We Help

We represent the entity before the FTB, manage the auditor’s requests, and defend the technical positions — sourcing, apportionment, nexus — with the California authority behind them, keeping the exam scoped and protecting appeal rights into the Office of Tax Appeals.

We make no guarantees about an audit’s outcome, but disciplined, California-specific representation keeps these technical audits from producing outsized assessments.
