Franchise Tax Board Notices
The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is part of the California Government Operations Agency that collects state personal income tax and corporate income tax of California. Per California Code Sections (§12419.2, 12419.7, 12419.9, 12419.10, 12419.11, and 12419.12), the FTB authorizes the State Controller to collect funds owed to the State University.
Why Did I receive this letter?
Our records indicate that there are past-due balances on your account at California State University, Fullerton. If you are owed a tax refund, or you win the California State Lottery, the FTB will deduct from the refund or other winnings the amount owed to the University. You have 30 days from the date of the letter to pay voluntarily before we submit your name to the Franchise Tax Board for further action.
What if I'm already on a repayment agreement with the university?
A repayment agreement does not prevent your account from being reported to the State Franchise Tax Board for recovery and payment. However, continuing with the repayment agreement will prevent your account from being fowarded to a collection agency.
