FTB Personal Tax Settlement

Service Overview

California Personal Income Tax Debt

The FTB assesses personal income tax on California residents and on non-residents with California-source income — and residency disputes are a common source of large, contested balances. If you owe personal income tax you can’t pay, the settlement path runs through the FTB’s ability-to-pay analysis on California’s terms and timeline.
