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.

If you need Tax help, go nowhere else, but to Daniel Robey. My husband and I have a very serious tax issue, and have been unable to get anything resolved through the IRS – including in person meetings. Penalties and interest continue to accrue and we have a lien placed. we are senior citizens, with a multitude of family tragedies to deal with, with no sign of resolving anything.

I began searching for outside help. I had left a message with BC Tax, LLC. I received a return telephone call from Daniel Robey. We spoke for about an hour, and I knew by God‘s Grace we were in the perfect hands and going to be OK.

Where to begin… Daniel listened to my story, asked many questions – impressive questions. He explained in depth what we were looking at, how IRS works, options available, how to proceed with those options, and corresponding outcomes. It is lacking to just say Daniel knows his business. His knowledge and proficiency is impressive to say the least, all of which is essential when dealing with the IRS. What really confirmed we were in the best hands was his concern for us. His concern for his clients. Daniel cared about “us”. He took into consideration ALL the issues we were facing – not just the IRS issues. He cares where you are and what you are dealing with over and above your tax situation. That is Critically Important As to how to proceed.

We are now in a program and are able to deal with everything that’s going on. We never ever would’ve gotten through this without the help of Daniel Robey at BC Tax LLC.

I wholeheartedly, recommend BC Tax, LLC. Saved our lives.

BC Tax helped me resolve tax issues that had been hanging over me for nearly ten years. From the beginning, Colleen and her team were transparent, professional, and consistently responsive to my many emails and phone calls.

Anyone who has dealt with the IRS understands the level of pressure and anxiety that comes with it, and BC Tax handled my case with a level of clarity and efficiency that made a real difference.

I have already recommended them and will continue to do so for anyone who needs help resolving tax matters. Their work speaks for itself.
