Section 19736 Of Chapter 9.1. Tax Amnesty From California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 10.2. >> Chapter 9.1.
19736
. (a) The Franchise Tax Board shall conduct a public outreach
program and adequately publicize the tax amnesty program so as to
maximize public awareness and to make taxpayers aware of the program.
In addition, the Franchise Tax Board shall make taxpayers aware of
the new and increased penalties associated with taxpayer failure to
participate in the tax amnesty program.
(b) The Franchise Tax Board shall make reasonable efforts to
identify taxpayer liabilities and, to the extent practicable, will
send written notice to taxpayers of their eligibility for the tax
amnesty program. However, failure of the Franchise Tax Board to
notify a taxpayer of the existence or correct amount of a tax
liability eligible for amnesty shall not preclude the taxpayer from
participating in the tax amnesty program, nor shall such failure be
grounds for abating the penalty imposed under Section 19777.5.
