FTB Has Admitted That The Collections Agents Can Still Manually Inflate Balances Due

At the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) meeting on March 24, 2025, FTB discussed their new software system, called EDR2.

Per the presentation, EDR2 is being rolled out one department at a time. One of the first departments to switch over to it was Collections. Here is a screenshot from the presentation in which they said that the new EDR2 software being utilized by the the Collections department “…will result in increased revenue…”

In the public comment time, I reminded FTB that I had documented in the Grab v. FTB court case that Collections agents Alexis Bear and Carrey Burton-Beilby had each directed me to send more money than the bill stated was due, then manually altered FTB records to make it appear that was always the amount due. In the court documents, I showed exactly how FTB “cooked the books.” Then I asked if the new EDR2 software allowed this manual inflation of balances due.

FTB’s 2024 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights (ATBOR) Meeting

The speech was limited to 5 minutes, so it was short and succinct. This is the text of the speech. The written submission is long and detailed, and includes links to proof of the allegations made.

This year, I’ve also made three legislative change requests: 1 treat married couples as a single tax entity. This has more details on exactly how the married couple embezzlement/racketeering scheme works that I’d referred to in the speech. 2. Repeal 1917C2 as it violates our right to protest. 3: Remove the loophole that lets FTB evade our right to due process.

Summary: This year, I made 7 ATBOR requests:

Seventh ORIM Claim Filed Against FTB Executives for Not Having Executed Oaths. Claim Also Filed with California Auditor’s Office

Quick background: Every government employee is required to take an Oath and to have an insurance policy or bond. ORIM is the insurance agency for State of California employees. For those of you who are looking to file your own claims, here is info on how to do so. Before you order an oath, check to see if I already have it posted. If you would like some models to follow, here is the firstsecondthirdfourthfifth and sixth claims that I’ve filed. .

This is my seventh Claim to ORIM, which was filed on September 23, 2023.

I also filed the claim with the California Auditor’s Office. I’ve sent a lot of claims to the California Auditor’s Office over the years re: FTB’s accounting fraud schemes, but I’ve mostly given up on the Auditor because it appears they didn’t do anything to stop the schemes.

However, I’d tried to turn these executives in to CALPers for pension fraud (since they were working fraudulently, that means their pensions need to be voided), and CALPers told me that the Auditor’s office was the proper jurisdiction for pension fraud investigations. Hence the claim with the Auditor.

2023 FTB Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting

On December 6, 2023, the Franchise Tax Board had its Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting. I’ll link the full video of the meeting and the transcripts when they are published.

Meanwhile, here is a video of the speech that I made at the meeting:

The full 2+ hour board meeting is here. I speak from 1:42:26 to 1:47:38 (It was a looonnnggg meeting).

Here is the text of my speech. Since the speech was limited to 5-minutes, I had previously submitted more detailed written requests to FTB’s Board Members, Taxpayer Advocate and Executive Staff.

Seven of the twelve items are issues that I have addressed in the past: 1. The Taxpayer Rights Advocate should be addressing constitutional issues. 2. FTB to stop unlawfully imposing wage garnishments, levies and liens. 3. Disclose policies and procedures regarding the application of payments (3 specific items on this topic). 4. Stop unlawfully withholding credit elect payments from married couples. 5. Refer to taxpayers as constituents because we are FTB’s employers, not customers.

There were four new items, too. 1. I addressed the high number of executive staff that do not have oaths or bonds as required by law. 2. I requested that all statutes be reviewed to ensure that FTB’s policies and procedures follow the laws as written, with no words omitted or inserted. 3. I asked what data FTB procures from the low income people not required to file a tax return. 4. I asked why Bill Hilson made so much more money in 2022 than in previous years.

I also requested clarification of an item that I brought up last year: the “no payment” account that appears to be an off-the-books spending account. Last year, I had asked if the funds belonged to FTB or another agency (item #4). FTB had responded that the estimated tax payments are immediately turned over to the State Controller (SCO). I asked for clarification as to whether “no payments” go to the SCO or if they are only turned over once they are identified as an estimated tax payment.

Update: FTB Responded on February 1, 2023. The whole response is riddled with problems. I’ll try to write a rebuttal soon.

Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.

Fifth ORIM Claim Filed! This One is Also Against FTB Board of Directors and Executives for Refusing to Disclose Policy and Procedure Surrounding NPAs

Quick background: Every government employee is required to take an Oath and to have an insurance policy or bond. ORIM is the insurance agency for State of California employees. For those of you who are looking to file your own claims, here is info on how to do so. Before you order an oath, check to see if I already have it posted. If you would like some models to follow, here is the firstsecondthird and fourth claims that I’ve filed.

I have Accused fifteen individuals from four different agencies of violating my rights under California Right R&TC Section 21006(b)(2) and for violating 18 USC §1001 (a)(1) by refusing to disclose FTB’s policies and procedures regarding the issuance of Notice of Proposed Assessment (NPA) forms and processing of Protests to said NPA forms. 

For several years now, I have been asking FTB to disclose the laws which justify 1. Not applying all payments made on the NPA form and 2. Denying the Taxpayer Right to Protest on the basis that the NPA does not reflect the full funds collected by FTB. FTB has been continually evasive and continually fails to provide the relevant statutes. It appears to me that NPAs being falsely issued is a lynchpin to the accounting fraud schemes.

I was excited about the third ORIM claim that I filed, and I am even more excited about this fourth claim! I have Accused fifteen individuals from four different agencies of violating my rights under California Right R&TC Section 21006(b)(2), for violating 18 USC §1001 (a)(1) by refusing to disclose FTB’s policies and procedures regarding exactly when payments that are supposed to be applied immediately upon receipt are actually applied, and for violating 18 US Code 242 by not allowing me full and free access of information in accordance with my rights, which is a Class A misdemeanor.
