While the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) encourages taxpayers to pay their tax liability in full — even if that means having to borrow money — it does allows taxpayers to set up an installment agreement to pay off their tax debt over time in certain circumstances.
Here are the basics of what you need to know about California FTB installment agreements.
In general, taxpayers are eligible for an FTB payment plan if they meet the following requirements:
The length of an FTB installment agreement is generally 60 months for those who owe $10,000 or less or 36 months for those who owe more than $10,000.
If you are approved for an FTB installment agreement, the FTB will add a $34 fee to your balance.
As part of the installment agreement, the taxpayer must agree to:
Tip: The California FTB gives taxpayers a one-time 30-day bill payment delay that can be set up here. If you are granted this one-time delay, you can skip a month’s payment on your installment agreement and not be considered in default on your agreement.
Here are the downsides of a California FTB installment agreement:
You have three options when it comes to getting a California FTB payment plan:
You can enter into a California installment agreement online at ftb.ca.gov/pay/payment-plans/apply-online.asp.
Note that only installment agreements for newly assessed liabilities may be set up online.
To request a California installment agreement by mail, complete FTM Form 3567 Installment Agreement Request and mail it to:
State of California
Franchise Tax Board
PO Box 2952
Sacramento, CA 95812-2952
Note that if you currently being levied by the FTB, you cannot request an installment agreement by mail. It is recommended that in this situation you make payment arrangements by phone (see below).
To set up a California installment agreement over the phone, call 1-800-689-4776 between the hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays (except California state holidays).

Tax relief is a general term used to describe various programs that taxpayers and their representatives — such as enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys — utilize to minimize or even eliminate the taxes, penalties, and interest a taxpayer owes to the IRS and other tax agencies.
These tax relief programs range from a simple phone call to the government for first-time penalty abatement to a full-fledged offer in compromise.
In this video, Logan Allec CPA answers the question, "What Is Tax Relief?" and goes over the three major IRS tax relief programs we use everyday for our clients.

Today I am talking about filing previous years' taxes, also known as back taxes. I tell you how to file your back taxes step-by-step, how many years back you can (and possibly should) file your back taxes, and more! ➡️ Email [email protected] to get help with filing your back tax returns!
There are many consequences to not filing your tax return, and it's generally in your best interest to file your back taxes as soon as possible. You should also be aware of the interest and penalties that accrue on back taxes because they can be significant, especially the penalties. Thankfully, in this video, I cover how the penalties are calculated and how you can possibly get rid of them. And even if you don't owe taxes, you still want to file to secure your previous year's tax refund. If you're wondering how many years back you can get a tax refund, I cover that too.
