California tax: Package X discontinued - second notification

As we announced in the October 2008 Tax News: Package X, the FTB tax forms catalogue, is going out of production this year. We are discontinuing Package X due to declining use and rising costs. Discontinuing the printing of this publication is also consistent with our business strategy to provide more services and information electronically.

All new 2008 and prior year tax forms and instructions typically included in Package X are available to download and print from our website at http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/index.shtml. An added benefit to using the online forms is that revised forms are available virtually immediately. 

To request (free of charge) forms and instructions, or prior year Package X books, call the Tax Practitioner Hotline at 916.845.7057, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you have any questions, the Package X customer service phone number is 916.845.7070 and is available until April 16, 2009.
