Tax Board Releases List of Delinquent Taxpayers; List Includes 3 Del Mar, Carmel Valley Residents

Three Del Mar and Carmel Valley residents owe a total of $633,221.32 in back taxes.

The California Franchise Tax Board issued Thursday a list of the "Top 500 Delinquent Taxpayers."

The delinquent taxpayers—which includes David Reyes Jr. of Carmel Valley with $274,073 in back taxes, Noel Heller of Del Mar with $200,004 in back taxes, and Patricia A. Engel of Del Mar with $159,144 in back taxes—face a number of new consequences including:

  • Publishing the names and titles of corporate officers of listed corporations.
  • Publishing professional license information
  • Authorizing FTB to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states to offset refunds and collect tax debt
  • Prohibiting state agencies from entering into contracts with the Top 500

The FTB began issuing the list of top offenders in 2007 and has collected nearly $177 million, according to a press release. However, the list excludes tax liabilities under appeal, in litigation, or in bankruptcy proceedings. The list will be updated again in April.
