Taxpayers' Bill of Rights Hearing Summary Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights Annual Report to the Legislature

The Taxpayers' Bill of Rights Act requires FTB to conduct an annual hearing before the three-member Board where tax professionals, industry representatives, and individual taxpayers are allowed to present their proposals on changes to the personal income tax or franchise and corporation tax laws, as well as changes to administrative procedures. FTB typically holds the hearing in December.

  • Support for the Legislature and FTB to expand the California Revenue and Taxation Code's conformity with the Internal Revenue Code.
  • Encouragement for FTB to continue its communication with taxpayers and tax professionals on key topics.
