Tax Board Outs Delinquent San Diegans

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

More than a dozen delinquent taxpayers who owe either personal or business income tax are listed with San Diego addresses, including some in the 92128 and 92127 ZIP codes.

The delinquent taxpayers—including a San Diego couple who owe $7.4 million—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.

Individuals who are past due can call 888-426-8555 and business owners can call 888-426-8751.
