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.

I found BC Tax after searching online for help with a notice from the IRS. From the first call, they made me feel comfortable and assured me I wasn’t alone. They explained everything clearly and handled my case quickly. I’m so glad I reached out I finally have peace of mind.

BC Tax has been working with me for several years now, my case has probably been more trying than most and they have been there to support me and work things out. Tax law is incredibly complicated and they have walked me through the tough times. Colleen is my current contact and has been great to work with. I still wait for the day that everything will be behind me. You'll be pleased with their expertise.
