Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tax relief attorney in Menlo Park do?
A tax relief attorney helps resolve tax debts, audits, and disputes with the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board. They can negotiate payment plans, file offers in compromise, and represent you in tax court. Their services are protected by attorney-client privilege.
How long does the California Franchise Tax Board have to collect a tax debt?
Under California law, the FTB generally has 10 years from the date of assessment to collect a tax debt. This is similar to the federal IRS collection statute. Certain actions like filing an offer in compromise can extend this time limit.
What is an offer in compromise and can it help with California state taxes?
An offer in compromise is an agreement to settle a tax debt for less than the full amount owed. The California Franchise Tax Board has its own offer program with specific eligibility rules. You must demonstrate inability to pay the full amount or show exceptional circumstances.
