How FTB Covers Up Their Accounting Irregularities

As you all know, I filed a Motion to Compel on Specially Prepared Interrogatories, Set #1: Clarification of Policy and Procedure. I also prepared a second set of Interrogatories to address FTB’s accounting irregularities.

And I prepared a set of documents called “Requests for Admissions” to help clarify the methods that FTB uses to cover up the assorted policy/procedure and accounting irregularities that were addressed in the Interrogatories. Here are the questions. Many of the questions refer to attached documents. Here are documents pages 1 – 18 and 19 – 35.

Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many questions I am allowed to ask FTB. I went over my limit, so FTB isn’t required to answer any of these “Admission” questions and I can’t file a Motion to Compel for answers on this one. But that is ok. I submitted this as Exhibit 52 in the Superior Court case to support my argument that FTB’s numerous and egregious accounting irregularities gave me and my husband reasonable cause for filing our tax returns late. It is also hard proof of fraud, falsely imposing penalties and fees, and overcharging interest which will go into the Federal Class Action Criminal Complaint.

Please, each one of you, ask FTB’s Disclosure Department for your accounting records. Look through your own records and match them up against what FTB sent you to see if your account has the same irregularities. Irregularities I caught include:

FTB does not properly apply payments timely (Qs 7 – 10, 17 – 25, 37 – 38, 40 – 44)

FTB “misapplies” payments to bills that do not exist on years that are already zeroed out and closed (Qs 1 – 6)

FTB Misclassifies Responses to Notices (Qs 34 – 36)

If married couples jointly respond to notices, only one spouse’s response is acknowledged, and the couple is penalized since both spouses “did not respond.” (Qs 31 – 33)

“Extensions” to file are dated before the date the letter was issued (Q 39)

FTB repeatedly “loses” tax returns that were filed (Q 12 – 16, 26 – 27)

I also caught Chelsea Hubbard committing perjury by stating that she had turned over all documents for tax years 2011 and 2014. Two of the documents that she failed to produce are damning to FTB’s case (Qs 28 – 30, 44 – 46)
