Service Overview

California Doesn't Have One Tax Agency — It Has Three

Unlike the federal system where the IRS handles everything, California splits tax administration across three separate agencies, each with its own taxes, notices, auditors, and collection powers. Knowing which one is contacting you — and why — is the first step to responding correctly.

How Its Work

Why It Matters Which Agency You're Dealing With

Each agency has different procedures, deadlines, and appeal bodies, and a single event — say, unreported cash sales — can implicate all three at once. We represent taxpayers before all three California agencies as well as the IRS, so when a problem spans agencies we coordinate the whole picture rather than solving one and triggering another.

We provide clear, honest guidance and make no guarantees about any agency’s decision.
