Service Overview

Settling With California Isn't the Same as the IRS

The Franchise Tax Board runs its own resolution programs, and they don’t mirror the IRS. California offers an Offer in Compromise, installment agreements, and financial-hardship status — but its collection statute runs up to 20 years, double the IRS’s, so waiting out California debt is rarely a strategy.

The FTB's Resolution Tools

  • FTB Offer in Compromise — settling for less, judged on your ability to pay now and in the foreseeable future.

How Its Work

How We Help

We verify what’s owed and for which years, prepare the financial package the FTB requires, and — because California frequently mirrors IRS assessments — look at both agencies together so a state resolution doesn’t leave a federal problem unaddressed.

We won’t promise the FTB will accept a specific figure; we build the strongest supported case your finances allow.
