At the Law Office of Pietro Canestrelli, we understand the intricacies of California tax laws and offer expert representation to ensure your interests are protected when dealing with the FTB.

The FTB is California’s tax agency responsible for collecting personal and business income taxes. When it comes to state tax matters, the FTB holds significant authority. Tax disputes can arise for various reasons, including disagreements regarding tax liability, audit findings, penalties, and denied claims for refunds. When you need assistance in resolving these disputes, it’s essential to have knowledgeable representation before the FTB.

Why Expert FTB Representation Matters

Representing yourself before the US Franchise Tax Board can be a daunting and risky endeavor. California tax laws are complex, and FTB procedures are rigorous. Here’s why having expert FTB representation, like the services offered by the Law Office of Pietro Canestrelli, is invaluable when dealing with the FTB:

1. In-Depth Tax Knowledge: Our experienced tax attorneys possess an in-depth understanding of California tax laws and the FTB’s regulations. We leverage this knowledge to your advantage, ensuring that your case is handled skillfully.

2. Procedural Expertise: The FTB has specific procedures that must be followed. Failure to adhere to these procedures can put your case at risk. Our attorneys are well-versed in navigating these processes effectively.

3. Negotiation Skills: Many tax disputes can be resolved through negotiation. Our skilled tax attorneys can represent your interests and negotiate with the FTB to reach a favorable settlement.

4. Case Preparation: Building a strong case is vital for success when dealing with the FTB. Our attorneys will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and meticulously prepare your case for presentation.

5. Protection of Your Rights: Having an attorney by your side ensures that your rights are safeguarded throughout the process. We’ll shield you from potential FTB overreach and advocate for your best interests.

The FTB Resolution Process

Understanding the FTB resolution process is critical when you’re involved in a tax dispute. While the specifics may vary depending on your case, here is a general overview of what you can expect:

1. Notice of Deficiency: When the FTB identifies discrepancies in your tax return, you may receive a Notice of Deficiency. This is the initial step in the dispute process.

2. Protest and Appeal: You have the right to protest the FTB’s findings and request an appeal. This is a crucial moment where having expert representation is highly beneficial.

3. Administrative Hearing: If the protest is unsuccessful, your case may proceed to an administrative hearing. This is your opportunity to present your case before an FTB officer.

4. FTB Decision: Following the hearing, the FTB will issue a decision. If you disagree with the decision, you have the option to appeal further.
