Do you know of anyone who has not filed their taxes the last few years? While most people are working on their 2011 state tax returns, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) today announced that it is contacting more than 900,000 people who did not file a 2010 state income tax return.
FTB finds nonfilers by using more than 400 million income records it receives each year from third parties such as the IRS, banks, employers, state departments, and other sources. In addition, FTB uses occupational licenses and mortgage interest payment information to detect others who may also have a requirement to file a state tax return. FTB then contacts those who earned California income, but did not file a return for the 2010 filing year.
Last year, FTB collected more than $574 million through these efforts.
If you know someone who has not yet filed their Federal or State returns for prior years, please have them contact me immediately and I can get them filed quickly!
