For Financially Stressed Taxpayers 

California taxpayers facing income tax troubles are encouraged to contact the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB). An FTB specialist can review accounts and explain available programs that offer assistance.
 
The FTB generally can grant relief from state tax liens within two weeks for financially distressed homeowners trying to sell or refinance their homes. When a home sells for less than the loan balance, FTB sometimes can remove its tax lien from the property to allow the homeowner to complete the sale. Tax liens typically must be paid before a real estate escrow can close. The tax lien remains in effect on any other property the taxpayer currently holds or later acquires.

FTB also can help individuals who are refinancing or modifying an existing home loan if homeowners request that the new or modified loan have priority over the tax lien. This allows prior home loans to be refinanced or modified without first having to pay the lien.
