About Us

Hi there! I’m Mary and I created this blog to be your trusted resource for all things Franchise Tax Board (FTB). I know firsthand how confusing and intimidating it can be to deal with California taxes, especially when it comes to the FTB.

Maybe you received a notice you don’t understand, you’re facing an audit, or you’re just trying to stay on top of your tax obligations. Whatever your situation, I’m here to help.

Why I Started This Blog

“A few years ago, I received a letter from the FTB that completely baffled me. I spent hours trying to decipher the jargon and figure out what I needed to do. It was incredibly stressful! After finally navigating the process (with the help of a very patient tax professional), I realized how many people must be going through the same thing. That’s when I decided to create this blog – to provide clear, concise, and helpful information about the FTB and California taxes.”
