California Tax Relief Information

Home | State Tax Relief Information | California Tax Relief Information

If you live in California, you may be able to reduce what you owe to the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), which is a part of the California Government Operations Agency. The FTB is responsible for administering the Homeowner and Renter Assistance program and collecting personal and business income taxes in California. They also collect child support liability, tax penalties and vehicle registration delinquencies.

At BC Tax, our tax consultants are on standby to help you figure out your relief eligibility. We also assist California residents and businesses with tax back dates and tax liabilities. Contact us today to learn more about programs like the Middle Class Tax Refund (MCTR) and determine whether you qualify or if you should pursue financial protection from the FTB.

How Much Tax Debt Do You Have?

What Was the Middle Class Tax Refund?

In 2023, the Franchise Tax Board issued over $9 billion to California residents and their dependents in a new tax relief program called the Middle Class Tax Refund. This California tax relief program was a one-time payment issued by the FTB to eligible California residents. These payments were issued between October 2022 and January 2023.

Who Qualified for California’s Middle Class Tax Refund?

You may have qualified for the California Middle Class Tax Refund if you were a resident of California for over six months during the 2020 tax year and filed your 2020 California tax return by October 15, 2021. Some additional criteria were that:

  • You were a California resident when the Franchise Tax Board issued your MCTR payment.
  • You didn’t qualify as an independent during the 2020 tax year.
  • You met the California adjusted gross (CA AGI) income limits for your tax filing status.

BC Tax was outstanding from start to finish. They helped me reduce—and in some cases eliminate—federal and New York state taxes across several tax years. A special shoutout to Megan Bridge and Paula, who were always available for my phone calls and emails. Their follow-up and follow-through were consistently excellent—something you don’t often see in business today. They explained every step clearly, set realistic expectations, and delivered results. I’m genuinely grateful for their professionalism, responsiveness, and care. I highly recommend BC Tax for anyone dealing with tax issues.

I had a WONDERFUL experience with Megan at BC Tax and highly recommend her and her firm!! From the start Megan was always SUPER responsive to my calls and messages and worked hard to keep me updated!! She was very professional and incredibly detailed and thorough and clear and patient in explaining all aspects of my case to me from the beginning to end on an ongoing basis as it evolved! Megan and BC Tax clearly demonstrated LOTS of knowledge and expertise in all tax matters and extensive experience in dealing with the IRS and thereby was an AMAZING advocate on my behalf! Megan and BC Tax works with high standards of honesty and integrity. Her work resulted in removal of most all of the tax liabilities which were were wrongfully posted on my account including the removal of massive penalties accruing over many years. More importantly I felt Megan took my case seriously and genuinely cared about me and about resolving my tax matter and I felt I could trust her and her firm to help me. I was correct and I am profoundly grateful!!! THANK YOU!!!

A friend mentioned BC Tax to me when I was dealing with IRS notices that kept piling up. From the first call, they broke everything down into language I could follow. What stood out most was how quickly they responded whenever I had a question. It made the whole process less stressful.
