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.

We needed help with my husbands taxes that have been screwed up for years! I didn’t have the time or the energy to try and fix the issue. I was tired of calling and emailing the IRS with no outcome and continuously getting the run around. I spoke to BC TAX about our issues and they were on it! We now owe NOTHING and they got us some money back. Thank you so much for your time and professionalism, a huge weight has been lifted from us. Much appreciated!!!!

BC Tax, specifically Colleen H. and her team did an incredible job of reducing my substantial tax liability. Needless to say I was overwhelmed, but I was never left wondering what the status of my account was. They communicated with me often and clearly. I can't thank them enough, and strongly recommend BC Tax if you find yourself in need of Tax Resolution and Consultation services.

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.
