What this covers
The FTB collects differently than the IRS
California's Franchise Tax Board (FTB) handles state income tax, and its collection process — including wage garnishments and bank levies — can move faster than the IRS's. We file the authorization needed to speak with the FTB on your behalf and work the case toward a manageable resolution.
This includes balance-due notices, income reconstruction assessments, liens recorded against you, and garnishment orders sent to your employer.
