“The California FTB sent me a 4502 notice asking for additional documentation before releasing my refund, what specific proof of income do they need?”

CommonDeep Dive · 60 min · $170

A California FTB 4502 notice often means the return was flagged for extra review before a refund is issued, and the proof of income requested can vary based on the items reported on the return. Common factors include wage statements, withholding documents, self-employment records, and any forms that support income shown on the return or claimed credits. The exact request may also depend on whether the return includes multiple income sources, business activity, or mismatches with information the state already has on file. The notice language and any enclosed checklist usually indicate what records are being matched. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
