Service Overview

California's Notices Have Their Own Language

The FTB sends its own family of notices, separate from anything the IRS mails, and each carries a specific meaning and deadline. Confusing an FTB letter for an IRS one — or missing its deadline — can cost you appeal rights or trigger collection. Knowing what you’re holding is the first step.

Service Benefits

FTB Notices People Most Often Receive

  • Notice of Proposed Assessment (NPA) — California’s proposed tax; a limited window to protest before it’s final.
  • Demand for Tax Return — ignoring it leads to an estimated assessment.
  • Order to Withhold — a bank levy; Earnings Withholding Order — a wage garnishment.
  • Notice of State Tax Lien — California has recorded a lien against your property.

How Its Work

Why the Right Response Beats the Notice

An NPA answered with a timely protest can be reduced or reversed; ignored, it becomes final and collectible. A demand to file, answered with an actual return, usually beats the FTB’s inflated estimate. We identify exactly which notice you received, calendar the deadline, and respond on your behalf.

We can’t change what a notice says, but we make sure your response protects every California right it triggers.
