California tax: Top 250 Delinquent Taxpayers

We mailed Notice of Public Disclosure of Tax Delinquency letters on February 18, 2009. We sent the letters to the top delinquent personal and business entity taxpayers with a tax delinquency over $100,000. Before we publish the updated list, we mail each taxpayer who may potentially be on the list, a certified letter, return receipt requested. The letter provides them an opportunity to voluntarily settle their liability. We plan to publish this new information on our public website beginning April 9, 2009.

California Revenue and Taxation Code §19195 directs FTB to publicly disclose the names, addresses, and secured amounts owed of the 250 top delinquent personal income tax and business entity taxpayers who owe over $100,000 in delinquent taxes. We update this list annually.
