3 From Roseville on FTB Top 500 Delinquent Tax List

Three taxpayers and businesses from Roseville owe the State of California a combined total of almost $2 million according to information provided by the Franchise Tax Board and released on Friday.

The FTB says Padwell Inc. owes over $1 million in corporate taxes; Abe Alizadeh owes just over $411,000 and Kobra Alizadeh owes just below $400,000 in personal income taxes.

In a release sent to news media, the FTB says it mailed letters in November 2011 to individuals and businesses who could qualify to be on this list if they did not resolve their outstanding liabilities.

The FTB says it has collected more than $25 million in payments from individuals and businesses willing to pay their tax debt and to prevent their names from being publicly posted.

Nearly 90 percent of taxpayers pay the taxes they owe, according to the FTB. Those who don’t pay contribute to California’s tax gap — the difference between taxes owed to the state and taxes actually paid.

More than $118 million has been collected from the list since it was first posted in October 2007.

According to the FTB, Taxpayers on the Top 500 list will be removed once the tax is paid or the taxpayer agrees to make payments under an approved installment agreement or offer in compromise.

Tax liabilities under appeal, in litigation, or in bankruptcy proceedings are not included on the list.
